Description:
The contents of smaller casks were emptied into a spectacular Portuguese Solera Tun and left to marry together and age until deemed ready to drink. Then, the cask is emptied with a portion of the whisky left in the barrel to mix and marry with the next batch of whisky that is added to the same Tun. The very same process is continued over many years leading to a very small portion of the whisky in the barrel becoming very old in age.

The Solera system explained in a nutshell is:
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.
