Anyone who took their time will know that PX sherry is one of the sweetest drinks around - the sweetest one yet contains just under 440 grams of sugar per liter !!! yes - 440 grams !!
I recommend you read this document on sherry production to get more insights into what its all about - you can use this link here
Moving on to one of the single cask bottlings from last batch released - that being batch 7... both Oloroso and PX casks were released in that batch and I'll be reviewing both one of each from that batch and later also a UK exclusive and a DK exclusive. Stay tuned!
