Auchroisk 10 Years Discovery – Gordon & MacPhail 70 cl. 43%

Auchroisk 10 Years Discovery from Gordon & MacPhail is a classic Speyside single malt, bottled as part of the Discovery range, which is designed as an easy introduction to different flavour profiles. Here you get a full-bodied, fruit-driven whisky with clear notes of sweet malt, dried fruit and spicy oak – a real “comfort dram” that both newcomers and experienced whisky drinkers can appreciate.

Auchroisk is known for a clean, fruity style, and in the Discovery edition it is wrapped in warm cask notes that add extra depth without becoming heavy.

Flavour profile (indicative)

• Nose: Ripe apples and pears, a little peach and apricot, honey, vanilla and light caramel. In the background, hints of dried fruit, gentle spice and a touch of citrus.

• Palate: Soft and slightly creamy mouthfeel. Sweet malt and fruit up front, followed by caramel, toffee, nuts and well-integrated oak. A pleasant balance between fruity sweetness and spice.

• Finish: Medium length with lingering notes of malt, fruit, vanilla and dry, elegant oak.

Serving suggestions
Auchroisk 10 Years Discovery is ideal as an everyday sipper:

• Best enjoyed neat in a tulip-shaped glass.

• A few drops of water can open up even more fruit and sweet malty notes.

• Pairs very well with mild hard cheeses, roasted nuts or light desserts with caramel or fruit.
