Redbreast PX Edition

Lovely nose, heavy sherry with vanilla, caramel, medium body with dark sugar, dried fruit, cinnamon, cloves, nice complexity but short finish

The latest Redbreast edition, has my two favorite letters together: "PX". This "Iberian Edition" has been matured in ex Bourbon casks, and Oloroso sherry, to then be finished for at least 12 months in a PX sherry Butt. Redbreast is always a synonym of a good dram. Tawny color, bottled at 46%abv. On the nose, it is exactly what you expect. Dehydrated oranges, quince dessert, red roses (very floral), and a spongy vanilla cake. There are some fig notes there, and impalpable sugar. After a firdt sip, it gave me passion fruit, and other exotic tropical fruits like dragon fruit. Church wine and a magnificent note of coffee with milk. On the palate it is a sweet as you expect. Chocolate, oranges and vanilla. It is really a citric delight. Hay. Aftertaste follows the rythm with a peat hint. A "grain whisky" vanilla note. Chocolate, tobacco. It is actually Smokey and a little earthy. Actually, this was a very good dram, specially if you have it while enjoying a Creme bruleè as i did. A sweet expression with some peatiness is always nice, my score for it is 87 over 100.
