Artis Secretum 2011 (bottled 2018) (cask 900284) - Solaria Series (Whisky Illuminati)

From the Whisky Illuminati comes a rather secretive single malt - which shouldn't come as a surprise, considering... Well, y'know... They're called the Whisky Illuminati. Anyway, this is a 2011 vintage Speyside single malt from "Artis Secretum", which was matured in a first-fill Spanish oak sherry butt until 2018, when it was bottled at cask strength with an outturn of only 150 bottles.

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.
