Why Choose This Whisky

• A specialist release for lovers of sherry-finished malt: the PX cask brings rich dried fruit and caramelised notes.

• 17 years of maturation gives depth and maturity, while the finish adds complexity and luxury.

• Versatile for sipping neat or pairing with rich desserts (like dark chocolate) or fine cigars.

Serving & Pairing Suggestions

Serve neat in a tulip-shaped glass to capture the nose. Let the whisky rest a few minutes after pouring to reveal its full aromatic profile. A small drop of water may open up further nuances (especially cocoa and dried fig). Pair with:

• Dark chocolate (70% or higher)

• A rich cheese board (blue cheese or aged cheddar)

• A fine cigar or after-dinner coffee
