Garden County Limited Edition 9 Year Old PX Cask
Garden County Limited Edition 9 Year Old PX Cask is the inaugural release in Garden County's Fortified Wine Cask. This release begins in Spain with a 9.5-year-old Pedro Ximénez sherry cask finished single pot still Irish whiskey. Initially matured in bourbon casks, the whiskey spent its final 9 months finishing in a PX sherry cask, developing a rich and fruit-forward profile with notes of sultanas, prunes, gentle caramel sweetness, and layered sherry-cask depth. Distilled in 2016, the whiskey was produced using a distinctive mash bill of 62% malted barley and 38% unmalted barley — a recipe used only in that year before production moved to a 50:50 ratio. With just 294 individually numbered bottles yielded, this first release is a highly limited expression and a unique example of modern Irish single pot still whiskey. To celebrate the individuality of the series, Garden County Distillery will collaborate with a local artist on each release, using the bottle label as a canvas to interpret
