Auchroisk 8 Year Old Bottled 1990s-2000s - Cadenhead's 5cl

A bottle of Auchroisk 8 Year Old Year Old, bottled at 61.4% ABV by Cadenhead's, we estimate in the mid 1990s to early 2000s.

Auchroisk was built in 1972 to provide malt for the J & B blends. The first single malt was released in 1986 under the Singleton brand, and the maturation process was an early example of cask-finishing, with boubon-matured malt transferred to sherry casks for a further two years ageing. This pioneering move was not highly publicised, so The Balvenie and Glenmorangie are generally recognised as the first to experiment with cask-finishing.

This lot comes from the extensive collection of a Merseyside collector who began his hobby with bottles bought for guests as digestifs at private dinner parties in the early 1970s. His interest led to him advertising in the UK national newspapers, and buying and selling bottles as far afield as Australia, America and Ireland, with his last significant addition being a collection he purchased from Stoke On Trent in 1984.
