Auchroisk The Artful Dodger Collective Single Cask #800733 Whisky 13 Year Old · 2007 Vintage

Colour

Deep amber with molten-gold highlights and a coppery halo, edging into mahogany at the rim.

Nose

Sun-kissed orchard fruit and citrus zest mingle with rich sherry, bringing fig, raisin, and dark chocolate. Vanilla and toffee braid with toasted oak, while a touch of almond lends elegance. Spices—cinnamon, clove, nutmeg—linger as the alcohol warmth accents the aroma, yielding a bold, inviting nose.

Palate

Oil-rich and deeply warming, this cask-strength Speyside coats the palate with dark dried fruits—raisins and dates—woven with chocolatey toffee. Spices bloom: cinnamon, clove, a touch of white pepper, balanced by orange zest and polished oak. Sherry influence lends luxurious depth and a long, spicy finish, with roasted nuts and espresso lingering.

Finish

Long, luxurious finish with dried fig, orange zest and dark cocoa, carried on sherry-soft oak. Spices unwind into toasted almond and a final kiss of espresso, leaving a warm, velvet retreat that lingers.
