1998 Berrys' Own Selection Auchroisk, Speyside, Single Malt Whisky (46%)
About this SPIRIT
Auchroisk Distillery, Speyside
Younger than many of Scotland’s distilleries, the distillery was built in 1973 to satisfy the demand of the blended whisky industry, which at the time was growing at a fast pace. The stills produced their first alcohol in 1974.
The original single malt produced by this distillery was called The Singleton, with the first bottling dating from 1986. In 2001 the name Singleton was abandoned and Auchroisk 10 10-Year-Old Flora & Fauna was launched.
The distillery has been awarded several architecture prizes and its whisky has also won several distinctions. Only 10% of the production is sold as single malt, the remaining being used in blends, especially in the well-known J&B. Despite this, some impressive older bottlings have been released, with a 30-year old from 1982, a 25-year-old from 1990 and, most recently, a 47-year old from 1974 being released.

Description
This single cask expression has a classic Speyside style nose with plenty of fresh soft yellow fruit, well woven sweet barley and oak. The palate is silky and mouth-watering, balanced with pear juice and apple acidity. The finish is clean, refreshing, uplifting and perilously moreish.
