Fable Chapter 9: Storm, Auchroisk 11 Year Old 58.7%
58.7% | 70cl | Speyside | Single Cask | Cask Strength
Auchriosk (pronounced “orth-rusk”) is a distillery many have yet to hear of. It is a relative newbie when compared to some of its ancient Speyside counterparts. First bottled in 1986 as a single malt, it was noted for its subtle, soft fruity qualities, qualities people often look for when selecting casks from Auchroisk. Interestingly, the single malt was rebranded as ‘The Singleton’ in 1986, as the name ‘Auchroisk’ was perceived as too difficult for consumers outside Scotland.
Matured in American oak, the single malt carries flavours of candied fruits, oat biscuits and marmalade; an intriguing single malt. There is a hint of pepper on the finish which is a pleasant surprise.
This 11 Year Old release came from refill cask 807569, which yielded just 317 bottles at 58.7% abv.
Distillery tasting notes
NOSE: Light vanilla caramel fudge, ginger biscuits, zesty baked pear.
PALATE: Quite buttery, plenty of fresh green citrus on the palate. Apple skin, light acidity, candied ginger. With water added – plenty more fresh green herbal notes. Becomes quite nutty and biscuity with ground almonds and sweet oats.
FINISH: Medium – short finish. Dry at first with a sweet nuttiness that makes way to fresh-cut grass and freshly baked bread.
