Laphroaig PX Cask Single Malt Whisky - A Bold Islay Expression

The Laphroaig PX Cask is a standout release from the renowned Islay distillery, famous for its bold, peaty whiskies. As the largest of the three heavyweight distilleries in Kildalton, Laphroaig surpasses its neighbors, Ardbeg and Lagavulin, with an annual production capacity over 1 million liters greater. Despite its traditional look, Laphroaig has long been a forward-thinking distillery, bottling its whisky as a single malt as early as the 1920s—a rare move for a heavily peated whisky at the time. Laphroaig also played a key role in shaping modern whisky production by adopting ex-bourbon casks, adding signature sweetness to its intense, smoky spirit, and made history in 1954 by appointing Scotland’s first female distillery manager, Bessie Williamson.

Launched in April 2012 as a travel retail exclusiveLaphroaig PX Cask showcases the distillery’s innovative cask management. This Islay single malt is matured in a combination of ex-bourbon barrelsquarter casks, and is finished in Pedro Ximénez (PX) sherry casks, from which it takes its name. The result is a deeply complex whisky with a rich, peaty foundation, balanced by the luscious sweetness of sherry and oak. The PX casks contribute notes of raisins, dates, and dark chocolate, beautifully complementing the intense smoke, iodine, and seaweed flavors Laphroaig is known for.

For those seeking a powerful yet nuanced whisky, the Laphroaig PX Cask is an exceptional choice, offering a unique blend of tradition, innovation, and Islay’s signature peat.
