  • AUCHROISK 8yo CASK : Refill Hogshead (May2017)

AUCHROISK 8yo CASK : Refill Hogshead (May2017)

A bright and expressive Auchroisk 8-year-old cask, matured for over 8 years in a Refill Hogshead. 
Auchroisk is known for its clean, orchard-fruit character, and refill maturation allows these natural qualities to shine while adding gentle layers of vanilla, soft oak, honey and light spice.

At 60.7% current cask strength, this youthful but well-developed cask shows excellent vibrancy, freshness and distillery character. The refill hogshead has encouraged balanced maturation, preserving Auchroisk’s signature brightness while adding complexity suited to an approachable, fruit-forward bottling.

This cask was selected from a reserved parcel of stock held back for its quality, yield and bottling potential.

About Auchroisk Distillery

Established in 1974 in Speyside, Auchroisk has built a reputation for producing crisp, modern spirit with a distinctive orchard-fruit and floral profile.
Much of its production is used in blends, making independent single-cask bottlings particularly interesting to enthusiasts who appreciate its elegant, lively style.

Typical Auchroisk characteristics include:

  • Fresh orchard fruits

  • Honey & vanilla sweetness

  • Light floral notes

  • A clean, refreshing malt character

Refill hogshead maturation maintains the purity of this style while adding subtle depth, sweetness and rounded oak influence.
