Laphroaig PX Cask: Peaty, Rich & Sherry-Laced Complexity

Laphroaig PX Cask Single Malt is a bold and deeply complex Islay whisky that showcases the distillery’s signature medicinal smokiness, enhanced through triple maturation. Originally released as a travel retail exclusive, this expression is aged sequentially in ex-bourbon barrels, quarter casks, and finally Pedro Ximénez sherry casks, resulting in a full-bodied dram that balances intense peat with rich sweetness.

On the nose, it opens with classic Laphroaig notes of iodine, seaweed, and campfire smoke, followed by layers of raisin, dried fig, licorice, and vanilla from the PX sherry influence. The palate is full and oily, delivering powerful flavors of smoky peat, salted caramel, stewed fruits, oak spice, and hints of dark chocolate. The finish is long and warming, with lingering peat smoke, sweet sherry, and a dry touch of wood tannin.

Bottled at 48% ABV, non-chill filtered, and presented with natural color, Laphroaig PX Cask is crafted for enthusiasts who appreciate intensity and depth. The triple maturation process enhances both the whisky’s structure and flavor, adding complexity while preserving the bold Islay identity.

Laphroaig PX Cask is best enjoyed neat or with a few drops of water to open up its full range of smoky-sweet character. It pairs beautifully with strong cheeses, grilled meats, or dark chocolate, and is a perfect choice for sipping by the fire on cooler evenings.
