"Pedro Ximénez, often abbreviated as P.X., is a dessert wine from Spain, renowned for its rich, intense sweetness. P.X. wines typically feature notes of dried fruits, velvety chocolate, and toffee. In crafting a harmonious counterpart, the BCS team meticulously blended select straight bourbon whiskeys from Kentucky (9 & 10-year), Indiana (6, 7, 8, & 12-year),and Tennessee (7 & 15-year) before further maturation in P.X. Sherry barrels to enhance and complement the sumptuous flavor derived from saidbarrels. The result is a rich, full-bodied bourbon with layers of toasted coffee, golden honey, and candied fruit, offering a sophisticated balance of depth and sweetness."
