RAER are delighted to announce the launch of a Limited Edition Pedro Ximénez Expression Whisky. The ‘PX’ is a long awaited companion to last year’s Scottish Whisky Award’s Gold Medal Winner – The RAER Oloroso Expression!

Launching the new blend at the family-owned distillery, Director Jaynie Kean explained: “We have selected the best first-fill sherry casks from Jerez de la Frontera in Spain and brought them back to Jackton Distillery to further mature and finish this RAER PX Expression in-house. Pedro Ximénez sherry is different from the Oloroso casks we sourced last year. As such it imparts new qualities, giving a mouth-watering finish.
We’re delighted with the end result, it was always going to be difficult to follow our Oloroso Expression but I think we’ve managed it. Initially we’re only able to produce a few hundred bottles and already we’ve had interest from across the world!” 

Jackton Distillery, is nestled in a village of the same name, in between East Kilbride and Eaglesham near Glasgow. It is an independent distillery owned and run by the Kean family. As well as the Scottish Whisky Awards Gold Medal the distillery has won two Great Taste Awards, two silver medals at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition and two silver medals at the London Spirits Competition.
