Tasting
How it drinks
Sight
Deep amber with reddish-brown tones from PX influence; heavy legs
Nose
Sweet meets smoke — rich PX sweetness (raisin, date, molasses, treacle) envelops classic Laphroaig medicinal peat and iodine. Dark chocolate, salted caramel, and dried fig. Similar direction to the 2021 Cairdeas PX but with added quarter cask oak spice
Palate
Intensely sweet and smoky. PX sherry delivers concentrated dried fruit, treacle, and molasses alongside medicinal peat, iodine, and seaweed. Dark chocolate, espresso, salted caramel, and oak spice from the quarter cask stage. Rich and decadent. Travel retail exclusive
Finish
Long, sweet, smoky finish. PX sweetness and medicinal peat in harmony. Dark chocolate, dried fruit, and iodine linger. A dessert whisky for peat lovers
