Boann P.X. Cask Finish Irish Whiskey is made from a mash bill of 44% malted barley, 55% unmalted barley, 3% oats and 2% rye. It matures for three and a half years in Oloroso sherry hogsheads from Bodegas Garvey’s of Jerez de la Frontera, Spain, then finishes for 12 months in vintage Pedro Ximénez Solera chestnut and oak casks from Málaga, Spain. Produced at Boann Distillery in Ireland’s Boyne Valley, it is bottled at 47% ABV in a 700 ml format.
This is a fabulous whiskey. I really enjoy expressions that aren’t trying to be too many different things at once. Too often we end up with a multitude of flavors that, while working well on their own become confused when mixed together. Everything in the P.X. cask rendition from Boann has a place and does its job perfectly.
