Product description
The Alrik Pedro Ximénez Cask Hercynian comes from the German Hercynian Distilling Co. / Hammerschmiede, which is based in the southern Harz Mountains. Only malt is used for the single malt, which is smoked vigorously over beech and alder wood. The single malt matured in first-fill Pedro Ximénez sherry quarter casks made from European oak. The smaller casks mean that the whisky has more contact with the staves during its maturation period and matures more intensively. It is neither chill-filtered nor coloured and is bottled at 55.1% vol. exclusively for Kirsch Import customers.

ent: On the nose, it entices with aromas of rich dried fruits, dark chocolate, and a hint of toffee, complemented by subtle notes of oak and spice. The palate is full-bodied and robust, offering flavors of sweet raisins, figs, and honeyed nuts, layered with hints of vanilla and a touch of clove. The finish is long and lingering, leaving a warm and satisfying aftertaste of dried fruits and oak spice.
Overall, The Alrik PX Quarter Cask Hercynian 2024 is a standout whiskey for its depth of flavor and harmonious balance between sherry sweetness and oak influence. It's an excellent choice for enthusiasts seeking a complex and indulgent dram that pushes the boundaries of traditional cask maturation.
