Liquid Treasures AUCHROISK 11 Years Old Wonderland Speyside Single Malt 2011 52,8% Vol. 0,7l

Description

The Liquid Treasures Auchroisk 11 Years Old “Wonderland” is a strictly limited single cask bottling from the renowned Speyside region of Scotland. Distilled in 2011 and bottled after 11 years of maturation, this single malt comes from the Auchroisk Distillery, a rather underrated distillery whose whiskies often end up in blends – making it all the more exciting to discover a rare single cask bottling like this one.

Released by the independent German bottler Liquid Treasures, this whisky is part of the imaginatively designed “Wonderland” series, which stands for high-quality, characterful bottlings. Matured in a carefully selected cask (often with a special finish or a sherry finish), this single malt impresses with its depth, clarity and natural expression. Bottled at 52.8% cask strength, without chill-filtration or colouring, this whisky is clearly aimed at lovers of authentic, unadulterated malts.

Tasting NoteColour: Golden yellow with a warm glow.

Nose: Fresh and elegant with notes of citrus, light-coloured fruit, malt, vanilla and a hint of oak spice.

Flavour: Full-bodied and strong with aromas of pear, apple, sweet cereals, vanilla cream and a fine wood structure.

Finish: Long-lasting, warming and balanced with fruity sweetness and gentle spicy notes.

Best enjoyed neat in a nosing glass, ideally at room temperature. If you want to soften the cask strength a little, you can add a few drops of still water to open up the flavour spectrum even further. Auchroisk Wonderland is ideal for guided tastings, for direct comparison with other independent bottlings or as a stylish gift for collectors. A wonderful Speyside malt with personality and expression that shows the potential of lesser-known distilleries.
