Character Goatson
In Gaelic, "auchroisk" means a shallow ford over the red stream. Once across, you'll feel like Julius Caesar when he crossed the Rubicon—victorious and irrevocably committed to a revolutionary course of action or as is the case here, to exceptional taste.

Deer, Bear & Moose spotted yet another formidable Whisky stronghold for you to conquer. Rich in taste and aroma, and ready for the taking. But don't let all this war talk scare you, because what we’re implying is a conquest of a romantic nature. Whitney Houston in the background? Optional.

This feisty fella’ matured for 19 years in Bourbon casks and it shows. Oak has a formidable presence from start to finish. It's lavish with nutty fruit flavors and laced with a sliver of spice that turns things up to a solid 11. A Whisky that is pure, strong and true.

Auchroisk distillery produced its first spirit in '74, but unlike other distilleries built at the time, they knew they had what it takes to make a single malt from the start. And their conviction paid off in spades—our seal of approval isn't handed out lightly, or often. Ladies and gents. The die has been cast.

Scotch Whisky is seldom aged in new barrels. Bourbon and Tennessee Whiskey casks are usually used for maturation. In addition to that, Whisky is often matured or finished in various wine casks such as Sherry or Port.
Single malt stands for around 10% of the Scotch market. This is a malt containing only one grain, legally required to be barley in Scotland, and made at a single distillery.

A blended Scotch is a combination of different malts from different distilleries. It is typically made from grain Whisky but does include malt Whisky to give it a more complex body.
Auchroisk is a huge facility with a storage capacity of 265,000 full casks -- more than they currently need. So other distilleries contract long-term storage there. 
Can Scotch go bad? Technically, an unopened bottle of Scotch can last forever. Air is the only true evil to Whisky; once the liquid is oxidized it is no longer immortal. After opening, as long as you store your Whisky in a cool, dry place, it will last another 5 years.
Blended Whiskies are the result of years of craftsmanship and dedication. A master blender does not simply wake up one day with a profound ability to create a cohesive and enjoyable liquid. From nosing the liquid to working out quantities of each different grain and malt to go into the blend, a master blender can take years, if not decades, to train.
Scotland is home to more than 20 million casks of maturing Whisky. That’s four for every person living there. Nuts!
