Sonnalta PX Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky Private Collection Having spent 10 long years maturing in American white oak casks this whisky is transferred into Spanish ex-Pedro Ximenez (PX) casks for its final two years of extra-maturation. Often described as the 'king of sherry casks' this rare wood was brought back from Jerez in Spain by our head of whisky creation Dr Bill Lumsden. Safely back in Tain it can then begin to weave its magic into Glenmorangie Sonnalta PX, adding the famous sweetness and intensity of the cask's previous resident. Aroma Chocolate-coated raisins, smothered in treacle with a sprinkling of demerara sugar. Further aromas emerge including ginger, toasted almonds and vanilla. Taste A sweet and fruity flavour progressing into a thick and syrupy pudding with a sprinkling of ginger and cinnamon. Finish Long and rich to the end with treacle toffee, sun-dried raisins and syrupy prunes. Colour Deepest gold
