This is a Whisky Illuminati bottling of well-sherried single malt from the Glentauchers Distillery, matured in a single first-fill Spanish oak sherry butt from 2011 to 2018. After maturation, it was bottled at cask strength (an imposing 63.4% ABV) as part of the Solaria Series, which is dedicated to powerfully sherried drams - and a continuing series of releases...
These whiskies come from a single cask, but not all the whisky has been bottled. The rest of the whisky has returned to slumber in its sherry butt, to be bottled after two more years of rest. But again, that will only be a portion of the whisky, as the remaining liquid will once again enjoy further rest until finally being bottled. Get involved with the Solaria Series and track the development of flavour the whisky experiences...
