Founded in 1974 by Justerini & Brooks (J&B) in Speyside, Scotland, Auchroisk Distillery is a modern single malt Scotch whisky producer located near Mulben, Banffshire, close to the River Spey. Pronounced “Orth-rusk,” the distillery was acquired by Diageo in 1997 through its ownership of J&B. Renowned for its light, fruity and subtly spicy single malts, Auchroisk primarily contributes to Diageo’s blended whiskies such as J&B Rare, while its single malt releases have garnered a growing following among enthusiasts.

With an annual production capacity of 5.9 million litres, Auchroisk combines contemporary production techniques with Speyside’s traditional whisky heritage, using water from Dorie’s Well. Diageo’s global distribution network, spanning over 180 countries, supports Auchroisk’s presence in markets like North America, Europe and Asia, positioning it as an appealing option for investors in the premium whisky cask market, particularly within the Speyside single malt segment.
