Auchroisk – 2010 10 YEAR OLD THIS IS LIKE SPECTACULAR FOR THEWHISKYBARREL.COM is a whisky from Auchroisk (Speyside). Aged 10 years, bottled at 59.1% ABV, 70cl. Built in 1972 - at an optimistic time in the industry - to produce single malt whisky for blends such as J&B, Auchroisk was the first single malt to be bottled under ‘The Singleton’ banner. The maturation process involved the 10 Year Old Bourbon-matured whisky being moved into Sherry casks for two years, making it among the first examples of finishing. Perhaps due to the boom in production at the time of Auchroisk’s construction, the sizeable distillery has a large number of warehouses. Since 2001, the Singleton name was abandoned and Auchroisk began using the branding of the Flora & Fauna series. Bottled for The Whisky Barrel as part of a series commemorating the Apollo moon missions.
