It is great Scotch. It alsogot some pretty big awards for a whisky with no age statement.

This thread should be in the Liquor forum but too late now to change it.
The PX was a "duty free" only release until recently when they opened it up to some of the other markets. It is similar to Lasanta in that it uses sherry casks but these are far different then the normal sherry casks. The sherry barrels used for the final aging are Pedro Ximenez barrels a very sweet and rich sherry. They are custom made for Dr. Bill Lumsden (Head of Distilling and Whisky Creation) and are not simply used PX barrels. Dr. Lumsden has Spanish oak barrels made and then toasted on the inside. He then requests that they be filled with PX sherry for one year so that the charred wood soaks up all the flavor. Rumor has it that this malt stays in the sherry casks for two years after a ten year sleep in bourbon casks although if true I don't know why they don't have an age statement on it. Still, even at $65-75 it is a pretty good dram and that's the whole point isn't it?

I keep looking for this one, but no luck so far. Glenmorangie Quinta Ruban is a favorite of mine, and I'm really looking forward to trying their other caskings.

I would suggest getting it online, the price is not bad and the Scotch is really amazing IMO. I have gone through one bottle and I am on the second! It drinks real easy...maybe too easy :whistling: I also just received a bottle of the Morangie Quinta Ruban its also very good and is worth trying!

LittleMick gave me 3 bottles for my birthday yesterday, Lasanta , Quinta Ruban and Nectar D'or . We tried them last night and although they all taste great I think the Nectar D'or is my fav. :love:
