To truly appreciate the complexity of this PX Sherry Cask expression, start by pouring a small measure into a tulip-shaped glass. This shape concentrates the rich, fruity aromas, allowing you to nose the whisky before taking your first sip.
Add a few drops of room-temperature spring water to open up the spirit. You will notice the layers of dried fruit and spice begin to shift, revealing hidden notes of honey and toasted oak that might otherwise remain masked by the higher alcohol content.
Take your time. This is a whisky designed for slow contemplation, best enjoyed in a quiet setting where the nuances of the Pedro Ximénez finish can be savored fully.
