Whisky Focus - Auchentoshan Solera

Auchentoshan Solera


2nd March 2012

Auchentoshan Solera travel retail exclusive.

Auchentoshan Solera is named after a process for producing and ageing sherry due to the use of ex Pedro Ximénez casks in this expression. Renowned as the ‘King of all Sherries’, Pedro Ximénez casks add contrasting deep aromas and textures. Solera is dark, intense and alluring – perfect for moments of pure indulgence or as a gifting item.

The Auchentoshan Solera was matured in a selection of fine oak casks and finished in Pedro Ximenez casks, non chill filtered and bottled at a higher than average strength of 48% ABV. This new travel retail bottle will be exclusively available in World Duty Free stores from 7th March and general release from April 2012, RRP £130
 

Auchentoshan Solera Tasting Notes


Producer's Tasting Notes:

Nose: Mature, mellow and deeply aromatic.Dark dried fruit with Victoria plums, cherries and raisins, followed by a deep and unctuous oiliness, reminiscent of beeswax and linseed oil. A basket of richly spiced dark fruits in an oiled cabinet.Water brings out more deeply seductive oiliness, but also rich plumy fruits and scents of rosewood and cherry blossom with warm roasted Columbian coffee in the background.

Taste: Full bodied with a thick, oily and chewy mouth-feel.Plums, dates, burnt toffee and toasted almonds in a cherry, raisin and blackcurrant flan. Dark chocolate brings depth and a bittersweet dimension with cherries inside.

Finish: Chocolate, dates and toasted almonds.
