A Luxurious PX Finish at an Enjoyable Price

Pedro Ximénez casks are known for bringing rich dried-fruit notes and a gentle sweetness to whisky. Here, that influence works beautifully with the naturally bold style of the island malt. The result is complex yet inviting, with layers that unfold gradually in the glass. It is the kind of whisky that rewards attention, but it does not demand specialist knowledge to appreciate.

• Age: 11 years old
• Finish: First-fill Pedro Ximénez cask
• Bottled by: Signatory for The Whisky Exchange
• Strength: 58% ABV
• Bottle size: 70cl

Fragrant Aromas with Plenty to Explore

The nose opens with a tempting combination of dates, maraschino cherries, buttercream and dried figs. These aromas create a rich first impression, balancing fruitiness with a creamy, dessert-like softness. As the whisky rests in the glass, the fragrance becomes more expressive, inviting you to take your time and discover each layer at your own pace.

Despite the influence of the PX cask, this is not simply a sweet whisky. A surprisingly dry character keeps the profile balanced and gives the rich fruit notes definition. That contrast makes every sip feel lively rather than heavy, offering an appealing alternative to sweeter, more straightforward malts.

Full Strength, Flexible Enjoyment

At 58% ABV, this whisky delivers plenty of presence. Enjoy it neat to experience its concentrated flavour, or add a few drops of water to soften the alcohol and reveal further detail. Water can help open the aromas and make the whisky more relaxed, while a small pour over ice creates a slower, cooler sipping experience.

Its generous flavour makes it suitable for special occasions, yet its affordable positioning means there is no need to save it indefinitely. Pour a dram after dinner, bring it out when guests arrive or use it as a thoughtful gift for someone who appreciates independent whisky bottlings and distinctive cask finishes.
