Auchroisk Distillery

Auchroisk Distillery is located in the heart of the Speyside region, near the village of Mulben in Banffshire, Scotland. Founded in 1974, Auchroisk is a relatively young distillery that has quickly gained a reputation for producing high-quality single malt whiskies, particularly for the blended whisky industry. The name "Auchroisk" means "the ford of the red brook" in Gaelic, referring to the nearby source of pure water used in the production process.

A unique feature of Auchroisk is the use of water from nearby Dorie's Well, which contributes to the purity and character of their whiskies. Auchroisk whiskies are known for their fresh and fruity flavour profiles, with notes of apple, pear, citrus and a subtle spiciness. The distillery uses traditional copper pot stills and a slow distillation process, ensuring a rich and balanced spirit.

The whiskies are mainly matured in a mix of ex-bourbon and sherry casks, creating a complex and layered flavour experience. The combination of an idyllic location, modern techniques and a strong focus on quality makes Auchroisk a respected name in the world of Scotch whisky.
