Royal Salute 29 year old Pedro Ximénez Sherry Cask-Finished, 40%
Price: ● Issue: Summer 2020 ● Reviewer: Jonny McCormick ● Category: Blended Scotch Whisky
This second release in the Flask Collection epitomizes deft management of PX finishing to produce an opulent treat. Honey and sherry notes, chunks of fruit-and-nut chocolate, melting caramel, plummy fruit, chocolate-covered raisins, refined dry spices, and stimulating peppercorn notes as the whisky warms. Thick and luxurious texture with vanilla, caramel, Seville orange, plum pudding, crème caramel, crystallized citrus, and melted chocolate, with a lightly spicy, sweet caramel finish.
