Fans of single malt Scotch know all about the appeal of finishing whisky in ex-sherry casks. Along with the classic single malt Scotch whisky flavors, the sherry adds notes of cherries, candied nuts, vanilla, and more. Clearly, the folks at Lux Row Distillers know the prowess of sherry cask because they’re taking a cue from their Scottish counterparts. Their newest bourbon was matured in Spanish-sourced Pedro Ximénez sherry casks.

Lux Row Distillers is adding to its Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey with the national release of Lux Row Small Batch PX Sherry Cask Finish. It begins with small batches of four-year-old high-rye straight Kentucky bourbon. After maturation, it’s finished in PX sherry barrels for an additional six months.

The result is a 112-proof sipping whiskey that (according to Lux Row) begins with a nose of figs and dates. The palate is a symphony of grape syrup, gentle spices, candied fruit, roasted coffee, and dark chocolate. Fans of sherry-finished single malt Scotch whiskies should be excited about this release.

“We wanted to meld the intensely sweet flavors of PX Sherry with the spicy, peppery flavor notes of our ryed bourbon,” Lux Row Master Distiller John Rempe said in a press release.

“The outcome is a delicious combination of two opposing yet complementary flavors that results in a truly unique expression.”

Forget the cliché: Charcuterie is the ultimate Fall hosting move

Fall Charcuterie

Instead of sticking to predictable charcuterie board spreads, fall is one of the best times to change things up when making a charcuterie board. Since there’s really not one “correct way” to build a charcuterie board, fall party hosts can experiment with fun game-day boards and cozy gathering feasts using a collection of autumn flavors, from apples to nuts to warm spices, richer cheeses, and fall fruit spreads and jams. While charcuterie boards might have once been associated with girls’ nights and wine pairings, a solid charcuterie board is ultimately just a masterclass in cured meats, sharp cheeses, and bold flavors that any guy can appreciate.

We chatted with Gardar Stefansson, CEO & Co-Founder of GOOD GOOD no-sugar-added jams, to get the scoop on how to craft the perfect Fall charcuterie board. From thinking outside the box with flavor pairings to building a balanced seasonal board, here’s what he shared on creating a high-end spread of cured meats, sharp cheeses, and hearty snacks that speaks to any guy’s appetite.
