Sourcing Pedro Ximénez casks used since 1918 at a bodega in Jerez, Teeling left thiswhiskey to finish for 3 years. A bouquet of sweet red apple, black grape, dried fruits,and blueberry, with sweet roasted cashews, dry spices, and a slight herbal edge. Bluefruits, plum, cinnamon, and bitter chocolate are harried ferociously by spicypeppercorn, leaving a finish of bruised orchard fruit. Add water and the fruit reallyshines. (10,000 bottles) €95
