- Description
- This Speyside single malt spent 18 years in a refill hogshead from August 2000 to September 2018, independently bottled by Douglas Laing's Old Particular series. Auchroisk's clean, elegant character develops subtle depth across nearly two decades in wood, balancing grain sweetness with gentle spice and oak. With only 297 bottles produced, it represents a single moment captured from one of Speyside's more discreet distilleries.
