Laphroaig Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky Px Cask

The first Laphroaig expression finished in Pedro Ximinez (PX) sherry casks, this Islay single malt is full-bodied and profound. 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.

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

Finished in Pedro Ximenez sherry casks, Laphroaig PX Cask has an antique gold color and profound, full-bodied character. Breathe in the influence of rich sherry, with aromas of sultanas, raisins and a touch of licorice on the nose. Each sip is filled with peat smoke and oak, leading into deeper sherry flavors of dried fruit. Intense peat smoke and thick sherried oak combine in the concentrated finish, leaving a mouth-drying impression.

Each drop of Laphroaig whisky is carefully made following centuries-old traditions passed down from distillery manager to distillery manager. To fully appreciate the distinct flavors of this unique Islay single malt whisky it's best to enjoy it as simply as possible. Serve neat in a cut crystal glass. Add a cube or two of ice to chill it to perfection or a small splash of fresh water to help bring more complex aromas out of the glass. Honor this richly flavored Scotch by sipping it slowly paying tribute to a passion dating back to 1815.
