The Balvenie Pedro Ximénez Cask 18YO is a single malt finished in casks previously held Pedro Ximénez sherry.
PX is a white Spanish wine grape variety grown in several Spanish wine regions. The heat of the sun ripening the vines leads to a wine of intense sweetness, dessert like.
Many years of maturation in traditional American Oak whisky barrels impart warming layers of honey and vanilla. Finishing in PX Sherry butts creates a fusion of sweet lavender, mandarin, fig and subtle clove.
Taste:
Nose: A medley of flavours from raisin & bursting currants, intertwine oak and subtle clove, concealing smooth sweet lavender.
Taste: A modern classic fruit fusion of tart grape skin, mandarin & fig flow together with vibrant oak to coat the mouth with a delicate oil and honeyed sweetness.
Finish: Unmistakable.
