Fadandel.dk has had the agency since 2017, on Claxton’s the bottlings in Denmark, and we have both this Exploration Series, Warehouse No. 1, Warehouse No. 8 and their Grain Barn – in the store and here at the shop. 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 polet. When you collect five tokens and send them back to Claxton’s, you get access to an exclusive Claxton’s bottling. Read more about the process here.
