Auchentoshan Solera Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml)

Note: Product has come from a private collection and as such has some minor scuffing/scratches/handling marks. Actual product pictured.

Finished in legendary Pedro Ximenez casks, this is the darkest Auchentosan we've ever seen. It's said to be one very tasty Lowlander, very chocolatey, with almonds, Toblerone bar and orange chocolate flavours. Bottled at 48% Alc./Vol. with zero chill filtration.

Other reviews... A wonderful Auchentoshan sherry with a perfectly matched strength. Intense, deeply rich, harmonious, bright, but not at all like the standard profile of the distillery. However, I am sure that with such great sherry casks not only in the Lowland but also in the Speyside region, any unpeated whisky will have the same stunning sherry profile without any hints of the signature character. At times it seems that many years old natural Oloroso casks were used here, and not PX, this profile is so similar to that one. Noble Oak was chosen for the pairing precisely because it used Oloroso casks. The sherry part of the Noble Oak profile is also very good, but not as bright and powerful as Solera. But it does not suppress the aromas of the distillate typical of Auchentoshan, in particular, fresh, vegetal, spicy, woody and mineral notes. This adds a few more layers, making the Noble Oak profile significantly more diverse. It may be strange, but I like both of these releases equally, despite their cardinal differences. - whiskybase.com
