Single Cask American Oak – Ex Pedro Ximénez Sherry Barrel

Status: Allocation Exhausted

Cigar Pairing: Maduro wrappers/heavy bodied NC’s or dark Wrapper Cubans.

Food Pairing: Stilton blue cheese, aged prosciutto.

This exceptional expression stands as a testament to the velvety richness of Pedro Ximenez sherry and the artistry of time, oak, and alchemy.

Nose: Upon the initial pour, the liquid captivates the eye, setting the stage for an olfactory journey that promises to be extraordinary. The nose is an intricate dance of honeyed figs, decadent toffee, and a subtle hint of cinnamon.

Palate: The first sip delivers an explosion of flavours that unfold with grace and precision. The palate is greeted by a symphony of dark chocolate, orange marmalade, raisins, and dried muscatel grapes, all enveloped in the warm embrace of American oak vanillin. The influence of the ex-Pedro Ximenez sherry cask imparts a luxurious sweetness that complements the inherent malt complexity, creating a harmonious balance that is enchanting.

Finish: The mouthfeel is velvety and indulgent, a testament to the meticulous maturation process in the singular cask. As the whisky caresses the palate, layers of vanilla, caramel, and a subtle undertone of oak spice emerge, leaving an indelible mark of sophistication. The finish is a lingering crescendo, with echoes of dried dates, candied pears and a gentle warmth that leaves an impression.

An ode to quality craftsmanship, a celebration of patience, and a tribute to the transformative power of a carefully chosen cask. A triumph of maturation that deserves a place of honour in any discerning whisky collection.
