Auchroisk 8Y (Ruby Port Quarter) – 50%
Claxton’s have bottled this Auchroisk, which has aged in a Ruby Port Quarter cask before being bottled at 50% as 8 years old. The bottling has been released in the ninth series of Claxton’s Exploration Series (EXP).
All bottlings in this series are bottled in standard round bottles, and not in the “flat” bottle type that Claxton’s normally uses. Under the foil on all the bottlings, in the “Exploration Series”, you will find a Claxton’s gold token. Once you’ve collected five tokens and sent them back to Claxton’s, you’ll get access to an exclusive Claxton’s bottling. Read more about the process here.
In addition to this 8 year old Auchroisk on Ruby Port Quarter cask, from Claxton’s EXP series No 9, we have received 7 other bottlings which you will find on this page.
