The Norfolk Ginger PX - Whisky Liqueur 20% | The English Distillery
The distillery's Pedro Ximenez liqueur infused with fresh stem ginger. Sweet, treacly and spiced, with a warm ginger finish.
The base is their Norfolk PX: Pedro Ximenez sherry married with English single malt in Norfolk. Infusing it with fresh stem ginger, sourced nearby, takes it somewhere better - the heat cuts through the richness and stops the sweetness settling.
The nose is stem ginger first, then rich dried fruit, cocoa and zesty orange peel. The texture is rich and a touch treacly, with ginger nut biscuits, raisins and orange peel running through it, and a long ginger linger on the finish.
Neat over ice after dinner, poured over vanilla ice cream, or with a splash of hot water and a slice of lemon when the weather turns.

FAQs
What is PX?
Pedro Ximenez, a Spanish sherry made from sun-dried grapes. It is the sweetest, darkest style there is, and it is where the raisin and treacle character comes from.
Is it very sweet?
Yes, though the ginger does a lot of work balancing it. Serve it cold and in small measures and the sweetness reads as richness rather than sugar.
Best way to drink it in winter?
A measure in a mug with hot water and a slice of lemon makes a very good hot toddy without needing anything else added.
The English Distillery is England's oldest registered whisky distillery. The Nelstrop family founded it at Roudham in Norfolk in 2006, the first registered whisky distillery in England for over 100 years, and it is still independent. The barley is a mixture grown locally and on the Nelstrop family farms in Lincolnshire, and the water is drawn from the Breckland aquifer under the distillery.
