An independently bottled- Single Cask Auchroisk- part of the Infrequent Flyers range of whiskies. Bottled as a 13 Year Old Single Malt- Auchroisk whiskies have always been noted for their smooth and slightly fruity character. Initially bottled under the Singleton moniker- official bottlings are few and far between as much of the stock goes towards the J&B Blend. As such these Indie bottlings offer a real insight to the style and character of the distillery.

This is the 2nd batch of Single cask whiskies from the Alistair Walker Whisky Company- cask strength and natural colour with a focus on some high quality but lesser known distilleries.

Official Tasting Noites

Nose Tropical fruit salad - waves of banana- pineapple and grapefruit- with hints of marzipan.

Taste Really vibrant- fruity and full of life. A rich sweetness - honey- treacle and Demerara sugar- with a devilish touch of peppery spice.

Finish Creamy- soft and slightly fruity- with digestive biscuit notes.

Part of a parcel of 4 or 5 Auchroisk sibling casks- this one really stood out. Its colour was so bright and vibrant- which immediately suggested further investigation would bear fruit- which it did- both figuratively and in terms of flavour profile. The distillery’s shell and tube condensers increase copper contact- leading to a very fruity little number.
