Laphroaig line-up. Tested Lore, PX and 10 partially blind. I knew what was in the lineup, I just didn’t know which one was which.
What were the differences?
Lore had the best nose and the PX had the most sherry notes. The 10 has the most notes and some elements that are covered by sherry in the other two - earthy and medicinal.
The PX finish is forever, French Oak spice and intense. The Lore was very dry on the finish and had hints of yesterday’s firewood. The 10 didn’t stand up as well, slightly medicinal, light spice and a hint of earthiness. The PX’s finish is special.
The overall rankings: 1. PX, 2. Lore, 3. 10. All good. If you can only buy one, get the PX.
