Auchroisk Rare Malts Selection Single Malt Scotch Whisky 28 Year Old · 1974 Vintage

Colour

Deep burnished amber with copper-gold highlights and mahogany edges.

Nose

Opulent sherry-kissed nose with dark dried fruits—raisin, fig, prune—woven with cacao, toasted almond and orange zest. Rich oak and vanilla envelop warm spice—clove, cinnamon—alongside a whisper of tobacco and leather. A subtle malt sweetness threads through a velvety, resinous core, hinting at depth, concentration and quiet grandeur.

Palate

Sherried richness coats the palate with dark fig, raisin and date, tempered by orange zest and toffee. Velvety cocoa and espresso notes emerge, while vanilla-soaked oak and gentle spice—cinnamon and clove—support the depth. Full-bodied yet refined, the 28-year spirit glides to a long, warming finish where dried fruit, chocolate and tobacco linger.

Finish

Long, luxurious finish of rich sherry sweetness with dark chocolate and dried fig, brightened by orange zest. Toasted oak and curling spice linger, gradually giving way to subtle leather and cacao dust as the warmth slowly fades.
