This 11-year-old Speyside single malt from The Whisky Cask Company was distilled at Auchroisk and bottled from a single cask at a natural strength of 53.4% ABV. As a single-cask release, it represents the character of one individual barrel rather than a larger batch.
A ruby port cask is likely to add extra layers of red fruit sweetness and wine-influenced richness to Auchroisk’s malt-forward spirit. For a novice drinker, expect a fuller, more assertive whisky that may benefit from a small splash of water.
