Fable Chapter 9 - Storm

Fable Whisky is an independent bottler of single cask whiskies. Far from ordinary, they are founded on the old art of storytelling, combined with the modern arts of animation and illustration. They bring legendary myths and tales from Scotland to life through these visual arts, while showcasing the best single malts which they hand select to ensure distinctive tastes and intriguing characters - just like the stories of old. All of Fable’s whiskies are bottled in their purest form: cask strength, natural colour, and without chill filtration. 

Auchriosk is a relative newbie when compared to some of its ancient Speyside counterparts. First bottled in 1986 as a single malt, it was noted for its subtle, soft fruity qualities. Matured in American oak which helps build flavours of candied fruits, oat biscuits and marmalade; an intriguing single malt. There is a hint of pepper on the finish which is a pleasant surprise.
