Latest addition to the Lux Row brand family will debut at the distillery in October before a nationwide release in early 2025
ST. LOUIS (Sept. 9, 2024) – Bardstown, Kentucky-based Lux Row Distillers is expanding its Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey family with the release of Lux Row Small Batch PX Sherry Cask Finish. The new release is crafted from small batches of 4-year-old ryed straight Kentucky bourbon finished for six months in casks that held PX Sherry, an intensely rich and sweet wine made from overly ripened, sun-dried grapes. Offered at 112 proof (56% ABV), Lux Row Small Batch PX Sherry Cask Finish will be available this October exclusively at the distillery for $59.99 per 750mL bottle. A nationwide release of Lux Row Small Batch PX Sherry Cask Finish is planned for early 2025.
The PX Sherry cask finish imparts an aromatic bouquet of dried figs and dates, and decadent flavors of grape syrup and candied fruit followed by hints of spice, roasted coffee, and dark chocolate. The result is a unique and balanced pour.
“We wanted to meld the intensely sweet flavors of PX Sherry with the spicy, peppery notes of our ryed bourbon,” said Lux Row Master Distiller John Rempe. “The outcome is a delicious combination of two opposing yet complementary flavors that results in a truly unique expression.”
Lux Row Small Batch PX Sherry Cask Finish is the latest release in Lux Row’s award-winning lineup. The brand family includes fan favorite 12-year Double Barrel and last year’s addition, Lux Row Four Grain Double Single Barrel, which recently earned a Platinum medal at the ASCOT Awards, and a Double Gold designation at the SIP Awards.
“Premium bourbon consumers want products that are unique and high-quality,” said Lux Row Brand Manager Eric Winter. “Our newest PX Sherry finish delivers on both fronts and provides an opportunity to grow the Lux Row brand by appealing to bourbon drinkers who seek out one-of-a-kind flavor options and taste profiles.”
