Single malt whisky Laphroaig PX Cask was the first to enjoy aging in ex-sherry Pedro Ximenéz casks, often referred to as PX casks. Pedro Ximenéz sherry is known for its natural sweetness, derived from dried Pedro Ximenez grapes.
All three types of casks from American oak to so-called quarter cask to Pedro Ximenéz sherry used for aging impart some of their characteristics to this sherry.
The final aging in PX Cask casks adds a rich, sweeter aroma with a full body, perfectly complementing the sharp aroma of peat smoke from Laphroaig, creating a product that must be appreciated over time to fully discover it.
From the bottle, you will sense a pleasant sherry aroma of sweet sultanas and raisins with hints of sweet licorice and just a touch of sharp peat smoke. A drop of water brings marzipan and almond aromas alongside a creamy scent of nuts and plenty of ripe fruit, but again that sharp, albeit subtle, aroma of peat smoke.
Without adding water to the glass, a powerful explosion of peat floods the mouth with a huge amount of oak flavor, only softened by the sweeter heavy taste of sherry. Adding a drop of water gently tones down the robust peat aroma.
Bottles are filled with an alcohol content of 48% with a volume of 1L and are delivered in gift cartons.
