Review
Not for me
I liked it
I loved it!
The Laphroaig PX Cask offers the classic intense Laphroaig smoke balanced with the fruity sweetness of Pedro Ximénez sherry, yielding a complex profile, featuring notes of dried fruits (raisins, cherries), spice (cinnamon, nutmeg), woody oak, with a long, smoky sweet finish. We loved this whiskey and even though it comes in a 1000ml bottle it didn't last long! A great choice for those that love the classic Laphroaig peat smoke but want something a little different and more complex. Highly recommended.
