Great Road West Blended 19Y – 45%
What a nice dark color this blend has, and what a flavor. A 19 years old Great Road West Blend, which has stored on a Sherry Butt (500L) all 19 years. CLAXTON’S bottled this blend at 45%.
In this second release of the “Exploration Series”, a total of 7 different bottlings have been released, which Fadandel.dk has the agency on. All bottlings in this series are bottled in standard round bottles, and not in the “flat” bottle type that Claxton’s otherwise normally uses. Under the foil on all the taps, in the “Exploration Series”, you will find a Claxton’s gold tokens. Once you have collected five tokens and sent them back to Claxton’s, you will have access to an exclusive Claxton’s bottling. Read more about the process here.
UDDATE 12-12-2022: We now have this fantastic bottling home again, as we have bought the last bottles that were in Claxton’s stock.
