A richly expressive Auchroisk 8-year-old cask, aged over 8 years in a 1st Fill Oloroso Sherry Hogshead. This cask combines Auchroisk’s naturally bright, orchard-fruit spirit with the depth and richness of first-fill Oloroso sherry maturation, resulting in a whisky that is both vibrant and indulgent.

The Oloroso hogshead has delivered excellent colour and flavour development in a relatively short period, introducing layers of dried fruit, chocolate, nutty sweetness and warm spice, while allowing Auchroisk’s fresh, fruity character to remain clearly defined.

At 59.4% current cask strength, this cask offers excellent structure, flavour concentration and bottling potential — ideal for those seeking a younger sherry-matured cask with real impact and value.

Selected from a held-back parcel of maturing stock for its quality and balance.

About Auchroisk Distillery

Established in 1974 in Speyside, Auchroisk is known for producing a clean, modern and fruit-forward spirit, often characterised by crisp orchard fruits, honeyed sweetness and light floral notes.
Although much of its production is destined for blends, Auchroisk has gained increasing attention among independent bottlers for its ability to mature exceptionally well in sherry casks.

Typical Auchroisk characteristics include:

• Fresh apple and pear
• Honey and vanilla sweetness
• Light floral notes
• A clean, refreshing malt character

When paired with 1st Fill Oloroso sherry wood, Auchroisk develops additional depth and richness while retaining its bright, approachable style.
