Claxton's Exploration Inchfad 2017 - 6YO PX Sherry Barrique (50%)

The Inchfad is a 6-year-old whiskey distilled by the Loch Lomond Distillery and has been allowed to mature in a PX Sherry Hogshead. This expression embodies the essence of complexity and depth, with rich smoky aromas and flavors that make every sip a real treat.

Tasting Notes:

Nose: This Inchfad immediately enchants with its rich and deep aromas. The nose opens with luscious notes of dried fruits, such as raisins and dates, infused with sweet, syrupy hints of dark sherry. A touch of oak and a hint of spicy cinnamon frame the palate, creating an inviting and complex nose.

Taste: At the first sip, the Inchfad reveals a palate bursting with intensity and depth. The sweet notes of PX Sherry dominate, with luscious flavors of caramel, toffee and candied fruit enveloping the taste buds. Rich layers of chocolate and espresso gradually unfold, while a subtle smokiness from Inchfad's peaty character blends with the sweet sherry notes.

Finish: The finish of this Inchfad is long and satisfying. The sweetness of the PX Sherry lingers, accompanied by a warm glow of spicy oak and a hint of smoke. A hint of dark chocolate and dried fruit persists, creating a deep and complex aftertaste that invites another sip.
