Morrison Scotch Whisky Distillers, use a small selection of distilleries in the Speyside region of Scotland to source their mature single malt Scotch whisky for Old Perth. They conduct the final vatting and marrying at their facility in Aberargie, Perthshire.
Old Perth PX, is said to deliver notes of sultanas, prunes
and cacao on the nose. Followed by notes of raisins, dates, candied fruit, dark
chocolate and cocoa on the palate.
Commenting on the launch, Niel Hendriksz, Sales Director at
Morrison Scotch Whisky Distillers, said: “Our commitment to the Old Perth range
has always been to make the highest-quality blended malt scotch whisky, through
the exclusive use of fully sherry matured liquid. Through our limited-edition
range, we look to further highlight the influence that different types of
sherry can have on whisky and we are delighted with the results of PX
maturation, producing a velvety texture with raisins, dates and candied fruit
leading into dark chocolate and cocoa.”
Limited to 7,800 bottles, Old Perth PX is now available from
specialist retailers, for a RRP of £58.00.
