RAER Pedro Ximénez Expression 40% Blended Scotch Whisky 70cl
WINNER: SCOTCH GOLD AWARD 2023 Scottish Whisky Awards
RAER's Original Blend undergoes a secondary maturation in the finest first-fill Pedro Ximénez sherry casks sourced directly from Jerez de la Frontera, Andalusia. The maturation takes place in their own on-site Bonded Warehouse for a period of 9- 12 months, subject to team approval.
RAER has sourced exquisite first-fill Pedro Ximénez sherry casks from the Jerez region of Andalucía in Spain to bring you a mouth-watering sherry finish. The team decanted national and international award-winning RAER whisky into each sherry cask. Oloroso and now Pedro Ximénez finishes have been created using this process. Each cask is laid down for further maturation in bond at Jackton Distillery, to create these specialist whisky expressions.
Jerez has long been hailed as the world’s premium sherry region, with their wines being documented dating back to the 1st century BC. RAER’s first fill sherry casks come from this protected region to produce wonderful expressions of our national drink. Rules laid down in Roman times, relating to soil type and grape varieties are still observed today. The colour of the expression whiskies comes from the sherry previously contained within the cask, which was produced using sun-dried grapes.

Tasting Notes

Nose: A decadent bouquet of ripe raisins, figs, dates, marzipan, banana and créme brûlée
Palate: Silky and rich, with a strong backbone of toasted oak complimented by caramelised sugar, figs, honey and subtle hints of roasted coffee
Finish: Warm, smooth and fruity with impeccable balance. A hint of bitterness is offset by the juicy, syrupy sherry flavours.
