Dunvilles PX 12 Year Old Cask Strength
A close relation to the award-winning Dunvilles PX 12 this limited release cask strength single malt is finished in Pedro Ximenez casks. Bottled at 57% ABV with an RRP of €125.
Omar Fitzell Notes
So much going on with this. A lab almond nuttiness that is complimented by milk chocolate. Blackberries and cherries with clove and nutmeg spice.
Palate
Yes, it’s Cask Strength, but it takes it so well! Wonderful mouthfeel that releases peaches, pineapples along with dried fruits that the PX influence gives. Chocolate and green apples finish off the notes nicely as it mellows into a finish.
Finish
A warming long finish that leaves a beautiful mint note on the tip of my tongue before it disappears.
Overall
There’s a long story to this whiskey for another day but it’s my second time tasting it in the last few months and boy oh boy I love it more and more. I can easily say, this is one of my favourite whiskeys of the year. Bursting with flavours. Complex yet well balanced. It’s a winner all day, every day and twice on Sunday.
Al Higgins notes
Nose
Great cask influence. A lot like some Glendronach single cask releases on the nose. Exotic woods (cedar and sandalwood), raisins, marzipan, dried apricots, dates, dried figs, yeasty bread, spice and cocoa.
Palate
Sweet, fruity, spicy, woody in order of intensity. Exotic and complex. Flavours of Christmas cake, marzipan, liquidised raisins, dates and coffee cake.
Overall
This is really quite special. The cask(s) are everything here. If you like Redbreast or Glendronach single casks, then get this asap! I can’t recommend this enough.
