THREE SHIPS WHISKY 10 YEAR OLD SINGLE MALT SINGLE CASK PX FINISH
In 2015, we made history with the launch of a limited edition, rare single cask single malt whisky that showcased the bold whiskies crafted at The James Sedgwick Distillery in Wellington. We opened our first-ever Master’s Collection live, online sale to sell 400 of only 800 bottles of this rare whisky, and sold out in under 5 hours. The decision to produce only one cask of this exceptional finish has turned this whisky into a coveted collector’s item.

Andy experimented with various casks for a few years before selecting the Pedro Ximénez (PX) for the particular effect it has on whiskies with a presence of smoke and peat. Pedro Ximénez is a white Spanish wine grape varietal used for the production of a sweet-style sherry. The raisiny richness it imparts to the cask was the perfect finishing touch to complement the smokiness of our single malt with some sweet, nutty flavours.

The Three Ships Whisky 10 Year Old Single Malt Single Cask PX Finish is complex with delicate sweet notes from the sherry cask, which lifts the nose with prunes, dates, figs, and fruitcake, and combines effortlessly with the elegant smokiness of the malt. Presented in its purest form, the whisky is unchillfiltered, natural in colour and bottled at 46.2% alcohol by volume to enhance the complexity and flavours of this elegant malt.
