Redbreast PX – Pedro Ximenez Edition

Another late add-on to our Irish Whiskey tasting brought us our 8th taster of the evening. Thank god we weren’t overindulging all the way along, because we would have been three sheets to the wind by now. The 8th taster was the Redbreast PX, a whiskey initially casked in Bourbon and Oloroso Sherry casks, before being finished in Pedro Ximenez Hogsheads. The nose was sweet with stonefruit, blackberry and plum. The taste was very sherry forward, super dry, with touches of sweet hay, grass, spiced wood and a bit of charcoal smoke. A very smooth dry finish followed. Another easy sipper from the Redbreast family.
