Auchroisk 15 Year Old 2008 Dram Mor Single First Fill Bourbon Hogshead Cask #816738 Speyside Single Malt Whisky (2024) 70cl
1 of 231 bottles
A Single cask bottling from Dràm Mòr of a 15 year old Auchroisk as part of their Summer 2024 Release. Dràm Mòr is an independent spirits bottler established in 2019 by husband and wife team Kenny and Viktorija Macdonald.
Auchroisk [pronounced Orth-rusk] is one of Diageo’s ‘nutty-spicy’ sites.
Here the heavy character is produced by rapid mashing, quick fermentation and, in the wash stills, a rapid boiling regime which almost cooks the solids and allows controlled carryover of some solids. This almost singed character [shared with Blair Athol] is most obvious at new make but recedes with maturation, being replaced by a balanced honeyed cereal sweetness.
About Dram Mor
Dràm Mòr is an independent spirits bottler established in 2019 by husband and wife team Kenny and Viktorija Macdonald. The company started as an export agency for Scottish brands, but as demand for independent, high-quality spirits increased, we decided it was time to venture into the world of independent bottling. They provide bespoke single cask spirits to 14 countries worldwide and they're delighted to grow the business portfolio to include a range of spirits along with carefully selected whiskies. Today, their products can be found in specialty spirits retailers, Michelin Star restaurants, and bespoke wine and gourmet outlets worldwide. Viktorija and Kenny both have backgrounds working for Whisky companies and are the co-founders of the Mòr Whisky Club held at Oran Mòr, Glasgow.
TASTING NOTES
Colour: Medallion Yellow
Nose: Sweet vanillas mixes with lavender and violet in a posie of summer flowers and well aged whisky. A combination of old leather bound books and marshmallows. This is joined by stewed pears and clove to make it a stunning summer scent.
Palate: There is a lot to live up to so here goes! Ooph! Vibrantly sweet, soft and rich. Dates, succulent sultanas, muscovado sugar and chilli. It wraps itself around your taste buds and refuses to let go. On a second visit (and it is easy to revisit) that 1st fill bourbon cask really starts to show itself with the multilayered vanilla and warming spice coming to the fore. This will have people talking for a while I feel.
Finish: Spicy as all hell, sweet pink peppercorns and molasses, sweet, bitter and with a wonderfully enlivening effect. The integration of all the scent and flavours mentioned above combine to draw out a very hearty finish to this Auchroisk.
