A powerful and generously sized Auchroisk 8-year-old cask, aged over 8 years in an Oloroso Sherry Butt. The large butt format provides long, steady interaction between spirit and sherry-seasoned oak, encouraging depth, richness and structure while allowing Auchroisk’s naturally bright, orchard-fruit character to remain clearly expressed. 

This cask shows impressive development for its age, with the Oloroso influence delivering layers of dried fruit, dark sweetness, nutty tones and warming spice. At 62.3% current cask strength and with a substantial outturn, this is a highly attractive option for those seeking a bold, sherry-driven whisky with excellent scale and value. 

Held back from a private parcel due to its strength, volume and flavour profile, this cask offers outstanding bottling potential. 

About Auchroisk Distillery

Founded in 1974 in Speyside, Auchroisk produces a clean, modern and fruit-forward spirit that performs particularly well in sherry cask maturation.
While much of its output supports blends, Auchroisk has gained growing recognition among independent bottlers for its balance of freshness, sweetness and adaptability to rich oak influence.

Typical Auchroisk characteristics include:

  • Fresh apple and pear
  • Honeyed sweetness
  • Light floral notes
  • Clean, structured malt character

Maturation in an Oloroso Sherry Butt amplifies these qualities with added depth, richness and texture, creating a whisky that is both expressive and approachable.
