The Auchroisk 10yo Flora & Fauna is a single malt whisky from the Speyside distillery established in 1974. This whisky is a rare release, as most of the distillery's production is used in blends. This expression, bottled in 2001, is part of Diageo's Flora & Fauna collection, which features whiskies from lesser-known distilleries. The series is renowned for its distinctive bottle shape and two-colored labels showcasing a plant or animal characteristic of the distillery's location. The whisky has an ABV of 43% and comes in a 700 ml bottle.
The nose of this whisky reveals a complex bouquet of dark chocolate, dry marzipan, toasted nuts, cooked pears, and cereal. On the palate, it offers a doughy and buttery texture with notes of lemon, pineapple, aniseed, charred oak, and ground almonds. The finish is surprisingly dry and smoky, leaving a lingering impression that is both satisfying and intriguing.
The production process contributes to the whisky's unique character, featuring quick mashing, short fermentation, and fast heating in the wash stills. The new make spirit, initially at 70%, develops a balanced honey-cereal sweetness during the aging process, losing some of its early almost burnt character.
The ABV (alcohol by volume) of Auchroisk 10yo Flora & Fauna is 43%.
The bottle size is 700 ml.
The Auchroisk distillery is located in the Speyside region of Scotland.
The Flora & Fauna collection is a series initiated by United Distillers in 1992, now continued by Diageo, featuring whiskies from lesser-known Scottish distilleries.
Overall: The Auchroisk 10yo Flora & Fauna offers a well-balanced and nuanced flavor profile with distinct grassy and vanilla notes, along with hints of spice and cream.
Reviewers appreciate the Auchroisk 10yo Flora & Fauna for its pleasant and balanced flavor profile, though opinions vary on its complexity and richness. While some find it to be a simple yet enjoyable whisky, others note its unique doughy, nutty, and floral characteristics. The whisky's integration of sweet and citrus notes, along with a salty, buttery texture, makes it an interesting option, though it may not impress those seeking a more complex or bold experience.
