This is a Speyside single malt Scotch whisky from Auchroisk, bottled from a single hogshead after 12 years of maturation. As a single-cask release, it reflects one individual cask rather than a wider batch, and it is presented at natural cask strength of 60.8% ABV.
For a novice drinker, that means a more concentrated and robust style than many standard bottlings. A small splash of water can help open it up and make its character easier to explore.
