Winning bid: £50
Auchroisk (pronounced ‘Ah-thrusk’) was built to produce blending whisky for the J & B brand. The water was clear and soft, the malt lightly peated and the stills high in profile to produce the light, sweet estery spirit needed for the J & B house style.
After eight years the first vintage was assessed and the company’s best noses decided that Auchroisk was also an excellent single whisky. Thus the Singleton of Auchroisk came to be introduced.
It is largely ex-Bourbon wood in which Auchroisk is matured, with a sherry finish grafted on by a certain proportion of each batch spending the final one or two years in dry oloroso sherry casks.
This comes with a branded glass. 70cl and 40%
