This Speyside distillery contributes a nutty and spicy whisky to the blends of its parent company, Diageo, and is rarely seen alone outside of savvy independent bottlings. This cask marries the green-herb savor and maltiness of the Auchroisk house style with the ripe fruit and funk of a Jamaican rum barrel, creating a spirit that will evolve enticingly in the glass with a touch of water.
