Picture Laphroaig's famous bonfire-and-seaweed smoke, then someone stirs in a spoon of sticky raisin sweetness. That's the PX Cask. It's that whisky you pour when you want a proper sit-down moment after a long day, the one that fills the room with smoke and the glass with dark fruit. Big, brooding, a little decadent. And it comes in a full litre, so you're not rationing the good stuff.
First hit is the nose: sweet raisins and dark dried fruit, sultanas, a whiff of liquorice, all wrapped in that signature Laphroaig peat smoke. Take a sip and it's a proper push and pull. Syrupy sherried fruit and dark chocolate on one side, then bold medicinal peat and a salty, briny tang on the other. The texture is full and oily, coating your whole mouth. The finish goes long, smoky and sweet at the same time, the kind that keeps you company for a while.
The details
Pairs well with
Where it's from
Laphroaig has been made on the southern shore of Islay, a windswept little island off Scotland's west coast, since 1815. The water comes from the nearby Kilbride Stream and the barley is dried over thick Islay peat smoke, which is where that medicinal, seaside character comes from. This one gets a triple life: first in ex-bourbon barrels, then small white oak quarter casks, and finally a finish in butts that once held syrupy-sweet Pedro Ximénez sherry. That last cask is the magic, turning hardcore peat into something rich and almost pudding-like.

- What does Laphroaig PX Cask 1L taste like?
Big peat smoke and a salty, medicinal Islay tang meeting sweet raisins, dark dried fruit and dark chocolate from the sherry cask. Full-bodied and oily, with a long finish that's smoky and sweet at once.
- What is the ABV of Laphroaig PX Cask?
It's bottled at 48%, a step up from the standard 40% Laphroaig, which gives it more weight and intensity.
- How do I serve it?
Neat in a tulip glass is the move. Let it breathe a minute, and add a few drops of water if you want to open up the fruit. It's a sipper, not for mixing.
- What does PX Cask and triple matured mean?
It's aged in three stages: ex-bourbon barrels, then small quarter casks, then finished in Pedro Ximénez sherry casks. PX is a very sweet, raisiny sherry, which is what tames the peat and adds the dark fruit sweetness.
- Where is it from?
It's an Islay single malt, distilled by Laphroaig on the Isle of Islay in Scotland, a distillery running since 1815.
- Is this a good whisky for a peat lover?
Yes, but it's peat with a sweet twist. If you love smoky Islay drams and want one with a richer, sherried side, this is right up your street.
