Auchroisk Flora & Fauna Single Malt Scotch Whisky 10 Year Old
In stock
Flora and Fauna, nicknamed by the late whisky writer, Michael Jackson, was a themed series of distillery only single malt whisky releases. Each distillery was given a particular creature as its symbol, which is elegantly displayed on each bottle's beautiful label.
In a striking hilltop location, visible from Rothes, is sited the Auchroisk distillery. The unusual name, meaning "Ford of the Red Stream" in Gaelic, refers to the Mulben Burn from which the distillery draws its cooling water.
However, the principle reason for the siting of the distillery is the Dories Well, an adundant source of soft, pure springwater. Through the smoke and nutty sweetness comes this unmistakeable silky water, followed by a dry, well balanced finish.

Tasting Notes
Colour
Sun-kissed gold with warm amber depths and coppery undertones.
Nose
Soft smoke and nutty sweetness lead the nose, lifting creamy vanilla and almond. Juicy orchard fruit (green apple and pear) emerges with a drizzle of honey, while a light, silky mineral edge keeps it fresh and balanced.
Palate
Silky on the palate, with smoke and nutty sweetness carried by a water-like texture. A soft, refined mid-palate yields to a dry, well-balanced finish.
Finish
Dry, well-balanced and refined, with a lingering whisper of smoke and nutty sweetness that slowly fades to a clean, graceful finish.
