An accomplished Auchroisk from a refill bourbon cask. Vanilla and cereals lead with touch of fruit and plenty of white chocolate, delicious! 84/100
Auchroisk 18 Years Old 1994 Old Particular
Auchroisk 12 Years Old Batch 7
Auchroisk 12 Years Old Batch 7 whisky review: Another great Speyside expression, good spirit character and balance of light/refill cask influence, this one becomes quite savoury and salty on this finish giving it a nice twist. 83/100
Auchroisk 18 Years Old 1994 Old Malt Cask 9877
Auchroisk 18 Years Old 1994 Old Malt Cask whisky review: Floral, syrupy and light flavours hints of zesty fruits, a good drinker and great classic Speyside single malt example. 86/100
Auchroisk 16 Years Old 1999 Strictly Limited
Auchroisk 16 Years Old 1999 Strictly Limited whisky review: Another finely balanced expression – a little more spirit character present in this one despite it’s extra years of maturation over the 13 year old 2000 vintage comparator from the same bottler. On the nose a lot more woody but a little lacking in distinct ripened fruit flavours perhaps? 84/100
Auchroisk 13 Years Old 2000 Strictly Limited
Auchroisk 13 Years Old 2000 Strictly Limited whisky review: Great poise and balance to this one, a touch of cask char/bitterness and light floury barley malt along with ripe mixed fruits, very drinkable. 83/100
Auchroisk 17 Years Old 1996 Treasurer’s Selection
A 17yo Single cask Auchroisk bottled by Robert Graham. Well imprinted with Auchroisk fruity distillery character. 83/100
Auchroisk 6 Years Old 2009 Hepburn’s Choice
A spirit led expression with a crash course in American oak, great experiment but perhaps not the best indication of what either distillery or cask can do. 79/100
Riverflow
A very enjoyable and accomplished mystery Speyside expression with a palate that is slightly thick with honey and syrup, a great single malt at the price! 84/100
The Singleton of Auchroisk 1976
Light bodied at 40% and smooth but with an entertaining toffee/coffee/chocolate flavour profile going on and a good taste of malty barley, some oak aging too, this seemed akin to many a good blend and I wonder if this expression was constructed in such a way as to appeal to the more common blend drinkers that would have dominated the consumer market. 85/100
