Laphroaig PX Cask
Single Malt — Islay, Scotland
Reviewed
September 11, 2020 (edited January 27, 2023)
Nose: The classic Laphroaig peaty smoke cones out right away, but in a different way. Complemented by heavy port cask influence from the PX maturation, vanilla notes come through with a lingering smoke and salt. Subtle dark chocolate turns into ground coffee with hints of plums.
Taste: The port cask influences the initial flavour on the tongue, almost overpowering the peaty laphroaig smoke. Heavy sherry notes paired with a fragrant floral flavors transition into a creamy milk chocolate.
Finish: Medium-length with a lighter smoke note, sherry remains with milk chocolate.
