The name is of course a reference to the solera ageing system, which Starward spins its own take on to age this whisky.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNose\u003c\/strong\u003e Prune juice and seedless raisins provide a thick, sherry-forward sweetness that is complemented by rich caramel and toasted almonds.
