Auchroisk 2007 / 16 Year Old / Old Malt Cask Speyside Whisky

Valentina Ricci — A proper after-dinner sipper

8/10

Bought this for a tasting night with friends and it was the surprise hit of the evening. Rich maltiness on the nose, then baked apple and cinnamon once you taste it. The 16 years of age really shows in how smooth it is despite being bottled at 50%. Would happily buy another if I spot one.

Olivia Park — Stunning Speyside at cask strength

9/10

Picked this up on a whim and it's become one of my favourite bottles this year. At 50% ABV it carries real weight — honey, stewed orchard fruits, and a long spicy finish that just keeps going. Sixteen years in oak has done wonderful things here. Worth every penny of the £92.

Natasha Volkov — Good but not quite £90 good

7/10

Nice enough whisky — creamy texture, toffee and gentle spice on the palate, clean finish. I drink it neat and it handles the 50% well without being hot. My issue is the price tag; for north of ninety quid I expected a bit more depth and personality. It's pleasant rather than memorable.

Priya Sharma — Solid old-school Auchroisk

8/10

I've always thought Auchroisk is underrated as a distillery and this Old Malt Cask bottling proves the point. Lovely waxy nose with dried apricot and vanilla, opens up beautifully with a few drops of water. Not the most complex dram I've had at this price but it's very well-balanced and easy to keep going back to.
