Isle of Fionia Sjæl PX Cask Finish Nyborg Distillery Danish Single Malt Whisky 70 cl 46%

Sjæl means soul in Danish. When organic Danish malt meets a cask full of Pedro Ximénez sherry, something happens that goes beyond the technical. A whisky that tastes like it means it.

Expert description

Isle of Fionia Sjæl PX Cask Finish is an organic Danish Single Malt Whisky bottled at 46%, non-chill filtered and with natural colour. Distilled at Isle of Fionia / Nyborg Distillery in the historic DSB train depot in Nyborg, Funen, the whisky first matured in ex-Bourbon casks before undergoing a finish in Pedro Ximénez sherry casks. PX sherry is one of the densest and sweetest sherry styles, produced from semi-dried grapes, and its casks leave a deep sweetness of raisins, figs and dark chocolate in the whisky. Bottling without chill filtration preserves the natural fatty acids that give body and a slight haze.

Tasting notes

Nose

Deep and sweet with a clear layer of PX sherry: dark raisins, plums and a hint of dark chocolate. Underneath lies the Bourbon sweetness from the first casks – vanilla and caramel.

Palate

Full-bodied and persistent with concentrated fruit sweetness. Figs, dates, slowly drifting orange peel and a warm, lightly tannic finish from the oak. The body is elegantly heavy.

Finish

Long and sweet with lingering notes of dark fruit and a discreet spiciness that slowly fades.
