Tasting Notes

Imagine a symphony of flavors that unfolds with each sip, taking you on a delightful journey through the realm of single malt whisky. This Auchroisk 12 Year Old 2009, from GreatDrams' Single Cask Series, is a true gem. Distilled in April 2009 and matured for a full twelve years in an ex-bourbon cask, it boasts a delightfully rich and complex character. The nose tantalizingly hints at syrupy biscuits, honeyed cereal, toasted nuts, and a bold presence of barley. As you savor each sip, a delightful medley of currant buns, spices, and candied citrus dances on your palate, accompanied by a touch of vanilla cream, ginger, and spicy oak. The finish leaves a lingering impression of apple crumble, baking spices, and a gentle prickle of pepper spice. With only 200 bottles produced, this non-chill-filtered and natural-colored whisky, bottled at a robust 48.2% ABV, is a true treasure for connoisseurs seeking a unique and memorable dram.
