Auchroisk 2011 12 Year Old Single Cask #809256 Auld Goonsy | Global Whisky

A Limited Speyside Single Cask

Distilled at Auchroisk on 27 May 2011 and bottled in January 2024 by independent bottler Global Whisky for the Auld Goonsy range, this 12 year old single malt was drawn from cask #809256 and bottled at 56.6% cask strength. Initially matured in an American oak hogshead before spending 12 months in a first-fill Amontillado sherry cask, the release was bottled at natural colour and without chill filtration, with an outturn of just 284 bottles.

About the Bottling

This Auld Goonsy release combines the individuality of a single-cask Auchroisk with the additional influence of a first-fill Amontillado sherry finish. The 12-month finishing period follows its initial American oak hogshead maturation, bringing a nuttier and drier style of sherry influence to the spirit. Bottled at 56.6% cask strength with only 284 bottles produced, it is a small-outturn independent release with clearly defined cask provenance.

About the Distillery

Auchroisk is a relatively young Speyside distillery and remains less commonly encountered as a standalone single malt than many of the region's better-known names. Much of its spirit has historically supported blends, making independently bottled single-cask expressions an appealing way to explore the distillery's character, particularly when presented at natural cask strength.

Archive Notes

Please review all product images carefully. Minor cosmetic wear to labels, capsules, cartons, or presentation cases may be present due to age, long-term storage, or secondary-market sourcing.

Natural variation in fill level, packaging condition, and label ageing can occur in older releases and forms part of the character of mature collectible whisky.
