Penelope Bourbon Project X #2216-1 PX Sherry 112 proof - Selected by Seelbach's

Proof: 112 proof

Finish: PX Sherry Jerez, Spain

Tasting Notes: Dense maple syrup, rich red fruits, a touch of kiwi, caramel cake, and a lasting, fragrant vanilla.

The palate opens beautifully with a silky mouthfeel and a touch of smoke, reminiscent of a gentle Scotch. Softer oak up front, almond, moving into crisp apricot and green apple, followed by a tropical fruit medley, maple cotton candy, and a slightly more robust oak presence that finishes each sip in a clean, satisfying way.

The finish leans buttery rather than fruity, offering balance and restraint - those wary of overly finished whiskeys will find some comfort here. A thread of maple sweetness lingers, but almond, apple pie filling, and buttery crust take precedence, supported by a lovely touch of oak tannin in the long, lingering finish.

Bottle count: 160 bottles
