First Impressions
Pedro Ximenez is the sweetest of all sherry styles. Marry it with Laphroaig's iodine-laden spirit and you get one of Islay's most decadent drams.
Distillery & Heritage
Originally a travel-retail one-litre release, PX Cask follows a triple-maturation path: ex-bourbon American oak, then quarter casks, then a finish in first-fill PX hogsheads from Jerez. Bottled at 48% without chill filtration.
Tasting Notes in Detail
The nose is dark and treacly — molasses, raisins and espresso wrapped in peat smoke. The palate is unctuous and almost liqueur-like, with sticky dates, prunes and dark chocolate before the medicinal Laphroaig DNA cuts through.
Verdict
A sweet-toothed Islay indulgence.
