Laphroaig PX Cask

Nose: Coastal peat smoke, iodine, sweet fruit Taste: Intense smoke, oily, brine, dark fruit appears on tongue and roof of mouth and stay for the whole finish with lingering smoke.

Interesting. Lots going on with the sherry & peat, but not too busy or out of balance.

This is a very nice and interesting whiskey, While it's not radically different from the other Laphroaig's I've tried. I do find it to be unique. It packs in all of the familiar Laphroaig notes, but played at a somewhat lower volume. This actually makes it easier for me to pick up certain notes more readily, like smoked meats Overall, I find it to be smokey, fruity and creamy. Interestingly, I consistently get a very mild note of chlorine on the nose. It's almost like slightly chlorinated fruit. I've spent a ridiculous portion of my life at pools, so it's a smell I like. And the overall scent is great. My wife, who loves rums and piscos but not Scotch, gave me an unsolicited, "that smells really good". I tried this with a one ounce sample bottle; I suspect that once I've had the chance to pick it up while traveling I'll find more as I delve in.
