Laid down in first-fill ex-bourbon barrels and finished in handpicked Pedro Ximénez casks, PX is the sweeter and heavier of the distillery's two sherry releases. It is a winter dram in the truest sense.

What it delivers

• Complex aromas of fig and apricot with an unusual note of banana
• Sweet barley, creamy butterscotch and rich Christmas cake on the palate
• Chocolate fudge, orange peel and wine-drenched nuts through the middle
• Dark copper in the glass from the PX casks alone

Why it matters

• Gold at The Spirits Business Global Asian Masters
• Silver at the American Distilling Institute International Spirits Competition
• Bottled at 48% to carry the density of the Pedro Ximénez finish
• The sweeter, heavier counterpart to the Oloroso Select Cask
