THE SEXTON IRISH WHISKEY LAUNCHES NEW AGE STATED RELEASE

The Sexton Irish Whiskey, has today announced the launch of a new age-stated release, which will be available exclusively through travel retail outlets.

The Sexton 11 Year Old (43% ABV) is an Irish Single Malt Whiskey, which was matured for a minimum of 11 years in Oloroso Sherry seasoned French oak barrels, from the renowned Antonio Paez Labato family bodega in Jerez, Spain.

Produced using 100% Irish malted barley and triple-distilled in copper pot stills, this latest release is said to eloquently reflect the rugged beauty of Northern Ireland’s coastline. The unique black hexagonal bottle disguises the rich sherry-coloured liquid that lies deep within.

The Sexton 11 Year Old, is the inspired creation of Master Blender Alex Thomas, who is celebrated globally for her dedication to challenging the status quo and pushing the creative boundaries of the Irish whiskey category.

This latest release is said to deliver notes of nuts, sweet spices, dried fruit and crème brûlée on the nose. Followed by notes of malt, plum, raisin, dates, dark chocolate, allspice, walnuts, toasted oak and honey on the palate.

Commenting on the launch, Alex Thomas, said: “With The Sexton we continue to push boundaries and defy the conventional norms expected of a single malt. We are instead guided by experimentation and intuition, which has led to the creation of The Sexton 11 Year Old Single Malt. With this release I wanted to create something extra special for Global Travel Retail, capturing the essence of The Sexton Original while enhancing the impact and flavour from the sherry-soaked barrels.”

Alex went on to say: “The liquid in this release was one of the first batches of stock I laid down over 11 years ago in the early days of my tenure as Master Blender. I knew there was something special about this liquid and felt it would be best left resting for another few years to develop a stunningly unique flavour profile.”

The Sexton 11 Year Old, will be available later this month from travel retail outlets, for a RRP of €41.00.
