Description

Auchrosik 7 year old Thunderstruck Uncharted Whisky

This single malt is an unapologetic juggernaut, showcasing a significant sherry cask influence, ferocious cask strength, and youthful boldness, bottled at just seven years old and un-chill filtered. Despite its age, it rivals and surpasses the quality of many older whiskies. The oloroso sherry cask has imparted a remarkable depth of color, making the liquid one of the darkest and most flavor-packed cask samples observed. There is truly no substitute for the richness of a first-fill oloroso sherry cask.

Auchroisk Distillery

Auchroisk distillery was built in 1972 by International Distillers & Vintners (IDV) with the intention of producing spirit destined for blends. The delicate and elegant palate of Auchroisk whisky became a very important component in the J&B blends. 

When the whisky was released in 1986 it quickly became a favourite among writers and judges. 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. 

In 2001 the Singleton Auchroisk was pulled out from the market and today the closest thing to an official release is the Flora & Fauna bottling. The distillery's extensive grounds are used by Diageo as a warehousing complex.
