Claxton's Warehouse No 1 Release 11 Unveiled: Six Cask-Strength Single Casks

Claxton’s Warehouse No. 1 – Release #11 Unveiled

Independent bottler Claxton’s has launched Release #11 of its Warehouse No. 1 series, presenting six strictly limited single cask whiskies spanning Scotland’s whisky regions—from the Lowlands to Islay. This collection is highlighted by diverse signatures such as a maritime-smoky Bowmore, a triple-distilled Auchentoshan matured in Madeira quarter casks, and a richly aged Blair Athol. Each bottling is authentic and cask strength, crafted to showcase character, origin, and maturation style.

Maturation & Flavor Profile

The series demonstrates a variety of cask influences: • Ardmore 10 Years Old is matured in fresh PX sherry hogsheads, enhancing sherried sweetness and spice.
• Auchentoshan 14 Years Old rests in fresh Madeira quarter casks, contributing juicy tropical fruit notes.
• Blair Athol 28 Years Old spent 28 years in refill bourbon hogsheads, producing a gentle, elegant fruity profile.
• Bowmore 11 Years Old includes a six-month finishing period in European oak casks, adding complexity to its smoky profile.
• Glenrothes 14 Years Old matured in new bourbon hogsheads, combining dried fruits with tropical accents.
• Mannochmore 10 Years Old is finished in fresh Oloroso sherry hogsheads, yielding vanilla and sweet oak nuances.
