Intro:
Distilled by Woodinville Whiskey in Washington State, this distillery only release is an exclusive bottling featuring Woodinville's bourbon matured in PX casks. PX is the layman's abbreviation for Pedro XImenez sherry - a sweet, syrupy dessert wine from, most notably, Jerez. Since this is a distillery exclusive, you can only purchase a bottle by visiting the distillery itself.
-
Nose:
Sweet cream, corn, blackberry and stewed fruits like date and currant. Sweet and inviting, lush and fruity.
-
Taste:
Rich on the palate, brown sugar, cherry cordial and blackberry. Surprising richness for 95 proof but lovely, with just enough oak to keep the profile centered, and not too sweet.
-
Finish:
Short finish that’s a cherry pie overload with tobacco, brown sugar and currant. Interesting and sharp, the quick finish actually helps this bottling remain balanced without a long, cloying finish.
-
Overall:
Overall, this is pure dessert without melting your teeth with sugary sweetness. PX is such a difficult wine to work with, especially when bourbon is involved (rye spice seems to ward away cloying jammy character more easily)
