The Signatory Vintage SYMINGTON'S CHOICE 16 Years Old AUCHROISK PX Hogshead Finish 2008 is an exclusive single cask bottling distilled at the renowned Auchroisk distillery in the Speyside region of Scotland. This exceptional single malt is bottled by Signatory Vintage, an independent bottler known for its uncompromising quality and careful cask selection. Each bottling in the Symington's Choice series is personally selected by Andrew Symington, the founder of Signatory Vintage, and reflects the highest level of craftsmanship.
This single malt was first matured in traditional oak casks before being carefully finished in a Pedro Ximénez (PX) sherry hogshead. This post-maturing process gives the whisky additional depth, intense sweetness and complex aromas that are typical of sherry cask maturation. The maturation over 16 years, combined with the finish in PX hogsheads, gives the Auchroisk a distinctive profile full of fruitiness, spice and fine wood aromas.
With a strong alcohol content of 57.9% vol., the whisky is bottled at natural cask strength. It is neither chill-filtered nor colored, which means that its natural variety of aromas is fully preserved. The elegant presentation in a classic tin box underlines the high-quality character of this limited bottling and makes it particularly interesting for collectors and discerning connoisseurs.
