Description:
Here’s another cracking whisky release from Hobart Whisky’s core range Solera expressions. Weighing in at 46.2% ABV, the distillery has found this whisky’s sweet spot and what a treat it is. Think sultanas, jam donuts, blood oranges and a distant hint of cigar leaf. Delicious!

The Distillery comments;
“Replicating traditional solera methods, we have bottled only a portion of this release, ensuring that over time we can continue the tradition of fractional marriage both acknowledging traditional solera systems, and ensuring quality and consistency between batches. We have decided not to restrict the abv to a particular percentage and instead we are aiming to always cut our Solera release to between 46% and 50%. This however means that each batch abv % may vary slightly’.

The Solera system explained in a nutshell:
A process of maturing liquids such as whisky, by fractional blending the juice in such a way that the finished product is a mixture of the sum of its earlier parts, a process that is continued over many years. It’s a labour-intensive exercise that is used to maintain consistency in flavour and a reliable style of whisky over time.
