Auchroisk 2010 “Slainté” 10cl Sample – 60,7%

For 25 years, the Flickenschild company from Itzehoe has been putting its own whisky bottlings on the market. In addition to cooperations with other independent bottlers and original distillery bottlings, the company also repeatedly fills its own casks in Scotland.

After bottling a total of 14 bottlings in the Scottish Roadsign series in recent years, the new “Slainté” series is now starting with three bottlings. Together with Hamburg artist Mats Matthée, a series was created illustrating various Scottish toasts. The first bottlings include two smoky whiskies from the Caol Ila Distillery on the island of Islay and a Speysider from the Auchroisk Distillery.

Auchroisk 2010 Wine Barrique

Tasting notes: Sweet aromas on the nose, caramel, crème brûlée and sweet cereals with hints of orange peel. Pleasantly creamy and oily on the palate – ripe fruit, malty sweetness, caramelised sugar with a long warming mouthfeel. Quite spicy with the nutty notes typical of Auchroisk.
