Auchroisk 20 yo Special Release 2010 58.1%

Young and almost unpronounceable Diageo distillery with so few official releases.

Founded in 1974 Auchroisk distillery is mainly focused on producing spirit for J&B blends.

Their first single malt whisky was released in 1986 under Singleton brand which (the brand) was afterwards transferred to  3 other Diageo distilleries: Glendullan (mainly for American market), Glen Ord (Asian market) and Dufftown (European market).

In 2001 Auchroisk Flora and Fauna 10 yo was launched as a replacement for Singleton. 

Auchroisk 20 yo Special Release 2010 58.1% - 5856 bottles released matured in European and American oak casks. 

Nose: all kinds of nuts, butter and cream, delicious :) 

Taste: dense, creamy and nutty with some citrus hints. 

Finish: long, sweet and spicy with coffee liqueur note.  

Overall: just very tasty whisky with reasonable price!

Score = 22 22 22 22, 88/100!
