i think i want some of this.......
hey all,
when checking out the bruichladdich site to see if there's any new releases due, this was top of the news list:
http://www.bruichladdich.com/news/wh...ses/the-cuvees
the cuvee 407 sounds the business:
Cuvee 407: PX (Pedro Ximenez Sherry Cask)
This Cuvee 407 has been further matured in rare Jerez butts that for decades held unctuous and ultra-rich sherry, made from the Moorish Pedro Ximenez grape. Once harvested, the grapes are shriveled to a raisin-like state under the baking sun of Andalucia to concentrate the sugars, resulting in a sweet wine of legendary viscosity and intensity.
For centuries, PX casks have been revered by whisky distillers for the Madeira cake richness they bring to maturing spirit; and our casks, extracted from the Fernando de Castilla Solera, are of the very highest provenance. This Bruichladdich Cuvee 407 is an indulgent, licentious whisky, a whisky for when the air is redolent of old leather, Cuban tobacco and cedarwood. A whisky to lose oneself in - an indulgent dream of a dram.
