Originally released for the travel retail market, Laphroaig PX cask is aged initially in American oak and then in quarter casks before a final finishing period in ex-Pedro Ximenez sherry casks. A rich, sweeter and full-bodied expression of this Islay favourite.

Laphroaig PX Cask Reviews

Tasting Notes

  • Producer's Tasting Note

    Colour: Antique Gold.

    Nose: From the bottle there is a nice sherry aroma of sweet sultanas and raisins with a hint of sweet liquorice and only the slightest tang of peat. Adding a little water brings out the marzipan and almond aroma with a counterpoint of creamy nuts and lots of ripe fruits but again there’s only the slightest tang of peat smoke.

    Body: An intense and profound deepness.

    Palate: Without water a massive explosion of peat fills the mouth with huge amounts of oakiness only just moderated by the sweeter heavy sherry flavour. Adding a touch of water only slightly moderates the massive peat reek which very slowly fades and just allows a little of the sweeter sherried flavours to come through although there is always that burst of peat smoke that dries the mouth.

    Finish: Concentrated peat and thick sherried oak with a deep dryness.

    We bought this scotch in St. Thomas initially and loved it so much we wanted more. The bottle came in a timely manner just in time for us to celebrate our friends 50th Birthday. We love the smokiness of this scotch and I'm sure we will be purchasing more. Thanks!!

    Fantastic. Classic Laphroaig smokiness and peatiness, with a lovely sweetness imparted by the PX - but not an overbearing sweetness. I wonderful balance between sweet and smokey.

Salute!

    Nose is a bit mute at first but opens out beautifully after it has been opened a week or two. Lovely mix of sherry, smoke and peat. They combine well here. Needs time to open.

    Finishes and Laphroaig - a tragedy in two acts. It''s hard to shake the ''glued on'' impression of the PX and I can''t help but think that way more time would have been required to marry the bold Laphro spirit properly with the finish.
