Auchroisk 15 Years Old Pintail Fondillion Wine Finish

ABV: 55% 70 cL

This unique single malt, distilled and filled at Auchroisk distillery in 2008, was matured for many years in a refill ex-Bourbon hogshead and then finished in a century-old Spanish oak cask, which previously held the rare and ancient sweet wine of the Alicante region - Fondillion. The resulting whisky carries notes of dried fruit, toasted oak, turmeric spice and orange peel.


Fondillion is regarded as a luxury sweet wine enjoyed by Spanish royalty since the fifteenth century and produced solely in the Alicante region on hills overlooking the Mediterranean sea. It gets its caramel, hazelnut, dried orange peel and ripe fig.


Only 230 bottles were produced.
