The origins of the distillery are quite shrouded, it originally started life under the name ‘Duntocher’, which was first mentioned around the turn of the nineteenth century. In 1834, it was renamed Auchintoshan, taking from the Gaelic ‘achad oisnin’ or ‘corner of the field’.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Whisky Craft","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57436523463031,"sku":"P5893S","price":118.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2403\/2357\/files\/WhiskyCraftAuchentoshan_b7960085-716d-446a-95c6-03bde9832fa1.jpg?v=1789057056"},{"product_id":"auchroisk-17-year-old-palo-cortado-finish-whisky-craft","title":"Auchroisk 17 year old Palo Cortado Finish Whisky Craft","description":"\u003ch1\u003eAuchroisk 17 year old Palo Cortado Finish Whisky Craft\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA 17-year-old Speyside single malt from Auchroisk Distillery, finished in Palo Cortado wood, offering a rich, syrupy texture complemented by restrained sweetness and refined depth of character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAuchroisk Distillery\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAuchroisk distillery was built in 1972 by International Distillers \u0026amp; Vintners (IDV) with the intention of producing spirit destined for blends.

For unknown reasons the whisky was never mass released. In a pioneering move, the 10 year old spirit was moved from ex-bourbon barrels to sherry casks for a further 2 year maturation period. What we now know as 'finishing' or even 'double maturation' was being done by Auchroisk without much fanfare back in the 1980's. It was Balvenie and Glenmorangie distilleries the ones that carried on with this ageing technique and eventually became regarded as the inventors of this process. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 2001 the Singleton Auchroisk was pulled out from the market and today the closest thing to an official release is the Flora \u0026amp; Fauna bottling.
