Some background: |
Pronounced "othroysk" which in Gaelic means 'ford across the red stream' the distillery lies on the Mulben burn which flows into the Spey. The distillery first produced whisky in 1974 and was launched 12 years later as a single malt. The distillery won awards for its unique design, including one from the Angling Foundation for not 'incommoding the passing salmon'. This soft sweet dram is finely proportioned not unlike the elusive salmon which pass by. |

| Tasting Note: | Very pale - bourbon cask. Certainly looks light and uninspiring, but this is misleading, for there is a perfect balance and harmony. A good aperitif type of malt. Subtle and easy going. | |
