A little background

Lux Row Small Batch PX Sherry Cask Finish is crafted from small batches of 4-year-old ryed straight Kentucky bourbon finished for six months in casks that held PX Sherry, an intensely rich and sweet wine made from overly ripened, sun-dried grapes. Offered at 112 proof (56% ABV), Lux Row Small Batch PX Sherry Cask Finish will be available this October exclusively at the distillery for $59.99 per 750mL bottle.

(Tasted neat from a Glencairn Glass)

Color

Dark Gold

Nose

Vanilla, orange, cinnamon, peanut brittle, red fruits, artificial strawberry jam, candied fruit, and a floral component.

Palate

Cola, dried cherries, marshmallow, orange citrus, and cinnamon.

Finish

Cinnamon, orange, brown sugar, chocolate, white pepper, cloves, and lingering dark fruit.

In closing

In conclusion, Lux Row Small Batch PX Sherry Cask Finish offers a satisfying experience with a straightforward, somewhat familiar nose, though not overly complex. It has a pleasantly rich mouthfeel, with cinnamon taking center stage throughout. The sweetness carries consistently from start to finish, ending on a lingering note of dark fruit and spice. While the PX Sherry influence is subtle and the youthful character is noticeable, this whiskey still delivers great value at its price point, especially for those who enjoy a long, spice-forward finish.
