Peat’s Beast PX Sherry Wood Finish [700ML]

Description

Looking for a peated whisky that bridges the gap between Islay intensity and sherry sweetness?

The Peat’s Beast PX Sherry Wood Finish represents an exceptional marriage of Highland peat smoke and Pedro Ximénez sherry cask finishing. This single malt showcases Fox Fitzgerald’s expertise in creating complex, layered expressions that satisfy both peat lovers and sherry enthusiasts. Unlike straightforward peated whiskies such as Big Peat Islay Blended Malt or BenRiach Smoky 12 Years, this expression adds luxurious dried fruit complexity to its smoky foundation.

• Distillery: Scottish Highland distillery – known for robust, characterful malts
• Region: Scotland – traditional peat-cutting heritage
• ABV: 40% – perfectly balanced for approachable complexity
• Volume: 700ml
• Maturation: Ex-bourbon casks finished in Pedro Ximénez sherry casks, non-chillfiltered
• Tasting Notes: Peppery peat smoke and damp burnt bracken on the nose, followed by salty seaweed, dates, and figs on the palate, finishing with black pepper and vanilla warmth
• Best Served: Neat at room temperature in a Glencairn glass, or with a splash of water to unlock hidden sweetness

Our team at Mr. Chow’s Liquor Store has found this expression particularly rewarding for those seeking peat with sophistication. The PX sherry influence doesn’t mask the smoke but rather creates harmonious balance – something we rarely encounter in peated whiskies.

Ideal for: Whisky collectors and peat enthusiasts exploring sherry-finished expressions. Pairs with: Rich Malaysian dishes like beef rendang or dark chocolate desserts. Recommended for: Those who appreciate complexity, similar to fans of Kavalan Oloroso Sherry Oak seeking smokier alternatives.
