Laphroaig PX Cask

The Laphroaig PX Cask single malt scotch whiskey is made with whisky matured in three types of cask – American oak casks, Quarter casks and the titular Pedro Ximénez casks. This leads to a flavour profile which ties together classic, powerful Laphroaig smoke and wine-like sweetness. It was originally released for Travel Retail. It’s triple-matured, spending time in ex-Bourbon barrels after distillation to add notes of toasty vanilla. Next, it’s placed in small quarter casks which lend a velvety smooth texture to the liquid. Finally, the mature spirit is finished in ex-PX sherry butts where it takes on flavors of sultanas, raisins and sweet licorice. This complements the signature Laphroaig taste — smoky peat reek with a medicinal edge. This is the first Laphroaig single malt to be finished in PX casks, and has impressed numerous critics. It’s taken home the coveted Double Gold at the 2019 San Francisco World Spirits Awards. Drink neat, or add a splash of water to bring out flavors of marzipan and ripe fruit.
