Суммаризация отзывов

Отзывы о Laphroaig PX Cask в целом сходятся на дымно-торфяном профиле с хересной сладостью, сухофруктами, солью и йодистыми нотами, но расходятся в оценке силы влияния PX-бочки и общего баланса. Наряду с похвалой за соотношение цены и качества, округлость и длинный финиш встречаются и резко отрицательные мнения о глубине, сложности и зрелости.

развернуть подробно

В носе чаще всего описывают дым и торф, хересную сладость, соль, сухофрукты, орехи и ваниль, иногда с йодом, кожей и «морскими» нотами. Во вкусе — дым, херес, дуб, красные фрукты, цитрус и ваниль, нередко с сухим и солёным послевкусием разной длины; также упоминаются вишня, смола и пепел, а профиль характеризуют как сочетание классического дымного/йодисто-лекарственного характера Laphroaig с винной сладостью PX. Часть отзывов хвалит баланс, округлость, длинный финиш, соотношение цены и качества и лёгкость при 48% ABV, а также приятную дымно-сладкую композицию с изюмом, сухофруктами, кожей и шерри. Однако мнения заметно расходятся. Одни считают влияние PX-бочки слабее ожидаемого, и тогда виски напоминает Quarter Cask или стандартную десятилетку; другие, наоборот, находят хересную сладость очень заметной и даже чрезмерной либо полагают, что PX-бочка перекрывает характер Laphroaig, а шерри мог бы проявляться ярче. Есть критика за молодость, недостаток сложности и глубины, «тонкое/водянистое» тело, короткий или быстро спадающий финиш, быстрое ухудшение в открытой бутылке, «скучный» и «плоский» характер по сравнению со старыми партиями, слишком приглушённый дистиллят, «не складывается в одно целое» и мнение, что выдержка в PX «портит» лучшие сильные ноты. Встречаются и резко отрицательные оценки: PX-финиш назван не добавляющим ничего нового, дымовой профиль — чрезмерно резким, а сочетание торфа с хересом вызывает общее разочарование. Отмечена и противоречивость оценок одного и того же виски в разных условиях дегустации.

The PX finish adds sweetness to Laphroaig's '' inside '' peat; but this third maturation having probably not been very long, this sweetness is not invasive. An affordable '' Laph '', but only one dram on the night seems like a good hit, or I'll be sick.

wbarchive_268984 Member Senior 82 21 may 2015 2:38 pm

There is too little PX in it. The resembles too much the 10er / QC I expected much more sherry flavors for the price. Strong smoke. Reminiscent of bacon rather than phenol. A little berry. Medium Departure. Just too little.

Sample drunk; Complex scent, whisky then opens very powerfully as a real peat bomb, but gradually also shows a sweeter softer side. Because of the PX ripening I expected more sherry influences than I tasted in the end, but nevertheless a pleasure to drink.

Very "gentle" Laphroaig, which is quite complex, but not overwhelmed. He seems to me just in the finish a little younger than the Triple Wood. The PX is a bit too sweet for me, because I like the Triple Wood a bit better, because it is a bit more harmonious.

Laphroaig PX Cask, originally for 'travel retail', you can now find the whisky in well-stocked specialist shops. One reason to try it - and to be thrilled!

Tasty. This release with the updated label is clearly sweeter, in my opinion it has benefited him.

Saftkenner Connoisseur 85 15 mar 2021 9:28 pm

Nice Laphroaig with good value for money. More impressive, balanced and fruity than the Triple Wood, but significantly less fruity than the Brodir. In contrast to the quarter cask, you can leave the bottle half full for three or four years without hesitation. It does not deteriorate, it becomes even more vanilla.

Whisky Hamster Expert Senior 86 19 mar 2021 9:42 am

Somewhat a sibling to the port cask travel retail version named Brodir. Just as solid at a good abv. And usually pretty affordable for a liter. Worth a buy, imho better than the Triple Wood which always had unusual sherry notes that seem a bit off to me. Recommended.

It's good but not quite worth the price. Very strong PX cask influence here. Classic Laphroaig peat is hiding underneath. Somehow I can't stop thinking of Auchentoshan Three Wood while drinking this. They taste so similar, only the peat is the real difference. Surprisingly short finish. This whisky degrades quickly in the bottle with time, only a week later it doesn't smell or taste nearly as good anymore and just keeps going downhill from there. It's also totally blown away by Ardbeg Uigeadail!

A bit thin and watery in mouthfeel despite ABV but adequate in flavour. Big peat/ sherry mix, with Laphroiag dna barely shining through. Sea brine with BBQ kippers and ham covered with red berries . The gusts of salty sea air lead you to a warming finish. Will stick to core range, the px combination does not work well for me.

Looking at it from a price-performance perspective, it's possible to say positive things. Nothing extraordinary, but it's worth the price. An enjoyable whisky. Value for money: Good. Would I buy it again?: I don't regret buying it, but there's no need to buy it again. Maybe it could be considered as a gift for entry-level users.

Ivynor Expert Senior 87 12 jan 2014 1:55 pm

A good laphroaig. The Quarter Cask wins the match of the best value for money, but the PX is above in quality. Maybe a bit below the 2011 version.

Good Laphroaig. I am only saying it as recent bottlings had departed from the typical Laphroaigness - medicinal. I thoroughly enjoyed it. I need to revisit the triple wood to compare it with this one. 48% is excellent

If the idea here was to present what would basically be a rehashed Quarter Cask with added complexity, the plan has backfired. Oddly, despite having seen the same cask types, this has notably less substance, depth, and maturity than the Quarter Cask. Okay on its own, but pales in comparison. On a side note, if you think you might like what this one seems to offer, head straight over to the Lagavulin Distiller's Edition, which represents a vastly superior, even if slightly bigger investment.

Conclusion: 88/100 points - "Winter Whisky with a desire for more". The PX-Cask was removed in three barrels and without age (NAS - No Age Statment). The finish in PX barrels does the whisky really well. The aroma of salty Black Forest ham looks the same. Overall, one of my favorite NAS whiskys.

Really interesting game between smoke, sherry and sweetness. He often changes his face. If you wait for the first sip, until it's only dry and then takes a new sip, the tart but is immediately gone and it starts again the game of sherry and sweet (in many others, it is just always tart when it once tart was). I love it.

Нос	85	The tangy sweetness of the PX is very evident here. Sticky toffee, Demerara sugar, shoe polish, sandalwood and pencil shavings. The classic laphroaig peat and smoke is definitely dialled down here due to the long finish in sherry. This isn’t much of a problem and I am excited to explore the pallet.
Вкус	85	Slightly dry with very punchy sherry notes, this really pushes the senses. Red berries, tannins , red velvet cake. Sweet and sour notes also. A fun ride!
Финиш	84	Short, medium. Dry. Overall a punchy Sherried laphroaig, I can see fans of typical laphroaig profile being challenged by this. For me a triumph.

Conclusions. High-grade smoked whisky. Cool and quite complex Laphroaig. I got a damn good batch with very high-quality casks. I liked it very much. At first, the spirits were aged for several years in ex-bourbon barrels of the first fill, then they were poured into effective quarter casks, where the spirits spent several months due to accelerated maturation. And finally, the final aging with a very bright color in active barrels from Pedro Ximenez. The strength is chosen perfectly. Incredibly drinkable. In development, both the aroma and taste are perceived like a 20-year-old smoked whisky. Rating 90.

‘Bizarre and addictive’ N: Peat wrapped in a smoky, peaty, fruity, ‘winey’ pancake with lashings of leathery rubber or is it rubbery leather? Lets look into the ‘fruit’ part - its an apple/blackcurrant juice [concentrated] but definitely winey, a sweet Rose dessert wine coming from the PX. The peat - clean and diary, yellow clotted cream, light and sugary with half a cowpat and lots of dense yeasty malt. Dense nose overall, clean and modern [engineered]. The malty spirit is intact, bizarrely brought out by the peat. Yeasty caramelised onions, honey glazed oven baked sweet potatoes and squash, spearmint, rock cakes, caramel & vanilla ice-cream and potato chips/crisps - the finish sees cheese and onion flavour. Bizarre indeed T: A surprisingly weak impact on arrival but immediately salivating and rich in depth of flavour, sugary and peppery marijuana is most striking before the developing of fluffy malt with a little oak and fennel laced aniseed before the smoky peat sets in with sweet ginger soy sauce and cinnamon. It then becomes oily and tannic. F: Tannic still with a deeper dose of medicinal aniseed before the smoky diary peat sets in. The finish is where you’ll find the Laphraoig;s TCP edge, but an edge is all it is. Delicious peat smoke lingers as does the onions and more of a suggestion of baba ganoush mixed with Sake, odd but moorish. Quality bonfires. Odd candy brine on the finish and cheese and onion crisps too. C: Initially, im not as overwhelmed as id hoped. This isn’t a flashy, ‘in your face’ malt despite the lashings of peat, but there are some terrific sweet, fruity, peaty qualities going on that are hard not to warm to. Its worth noting too that this isn’t your usual Laphroaig - blind tasting sessions of this Laphroaig get people wondering whether its a Feis Ile Lagavulin or a funky Ardbeg for example. This is because the usual TCP element has been subdued by the PX, and in this case it works making this expression seriously quaffable. However as the bottle has gone down, the components have broken down a lot. The nose is revealing its ‘blended/vatted’ nature, the whole presentation is far less complex than on first impact and is lacking in parts. Its still a lovely drinker but nothing to get too carried away about. Scores a B- NB: World of Whiskies malt of the year 2013.

I clearly taste the Quarter Cask version in it only with a sherry sauce through it. I do not have to say this, I prefer 10x the standard Quarter Cask (for a much better price). All in all certainly not the wrong whisky but the PX sherry finish just adds nothing extra.

A beautiful smoky and spicy sherry. We clearly recognize the Pedro Ximenéz, fresh leather, yellow plums, dried apricots, quince marmalade. But this is surrounded by a powerful and tasty peat, captivating, almost suffocating. It is of rare power, and enhanced with morello cherries. Blackberry jam, fruit jellies, macaroons, fig fondant. Very sweet on the palate, light grenadine, then the spices rise, cloves, pepper, nutmeg, as well as coal, gas oil, motor oil. Plum juice behind. Very earthy and woody finish, cola, a hint of licorice, sufficiently long. I totally approve. This version is smokier than Triple Wood, but also fruitier. https://ilikesky2020.blogspot.com/2020/11/laphroaig-px-cask.html

The formula can be simple, yet exciting: just add some sherry sweetness to the earthy Laphroaig peat. The result isn't disappointing, but not convincing at all. Smoke and alcohol are quite overwhelming at first, while sherry notes aren't so remarkable and mostly bring a more rounded taste to this bold and young peated malt. Finish is shorter than expected and, again, only slightly influenced by the casks. A drop of water is helpful to open it up a bit, anyway it's surely enjoyable for any Laphroaig fan.

Laphroaig PX Cask Triple Matured Category: Single Malt Manufacturer and bottler: Laphroaig Distillery (Beam Suntory) Region: Islay Fortress: 48% Volume: 1000 ml (Travel Retail) Bottling date: L1 019. 2020 Barrel type: Bourbon, Quarter Casks, Pedro Ximenez Sherry Age: no indication Filtering: no Dye: none Nose. Smoke, scorched wood, iodine, medical bandages, leather, wool, shoe polish, bacon, baked pears, plums and cherries, raisins, blackberry jam, hot chocolate, red oranges, lingonberry syrup, vanilla, ginger, anise. The aromatics are generally similar to the Quarter Casks release, balanced and complex, but noticeably sweeter due to the influence of the sherry casks. Taste. Burnt wood, bacon on a fire with lingonberry sauce, raisins, forest berries, chocolate, malt, citrus fruits, spices (pepper, ginger, anise), tablet shells. PX barrels significantly reduced phenolicity and iodineness in taste, which was felt more brightly in Quarter Casks, and chocolate-berry sweetness occupied the main space of taste sensations, leaving only a small place for lingonberry and citrus sourness and bitterness of spices. 48% is perfect for this whisky - it is easy to drink, while it is perceived as bright and rich. Aftertaste. Long, persistent. Not too dry despite sherry aging. Burnt, berries, raisins, spices. Outcome. A wonderful, bright release from Laphroaig, but for lovers of sweeter profiles. I prefer the Quarter Casks release. Despite the smaller number of barrels involved, it seems to me more balanced in taste. Rating: 86 out of 100.

zemartino Member Senior 82 28 jan 2023 10:20 pm

Distinctively Laphroaig, yet overly sweet due too the px cask.

plutoes Expert Senior 84 23 feb 2025 12:07 pm

A characterful dram with a nice balance of intensity and drinkability. It might be somewhat underappreciated due to its relatively low price, but it offers great value. Strengths: A bold interplay between Laphroaig’s signature character and the strong cask influence. Rich and full-bodied, with a well-defined flavor profile. A great choice for those who enjoy Quarter Cask but want added sweetness and depth. Weaknesses: The cask influence is so strong that it slightly overshadows Laphroaig’s core identity.

Color: Gold, lighter than I expected. Nose: It's warm and inviting. The sweetness from the sherry casks is combined with typical Laphroaig medicinal peat smoke. There's plums, raisins, blackberry and some lemon as well. It's sweet and sour. Quite promising. Palate: Hit of peat combined with lemon rind, dark chocolate and some berries. Finish: It starts of very sweet, confectionery. After some time bitter oak gets through that leaves a somewhat unpleasant note. The nose on this one is promising, but it's all somewhat unhinged. Some extreme sweetness here, peatbomb there,... It's not a bad whisky in any way, but I feel like all the different casks have had their influences, but failed to deliver a whole. http://whiskyinformer.com/home/laphroaig-px-cask

C: Amber. N: Peat and leather, always a little of medicine note as usual, fresh fruits, green apple, a few liquorice smell, burned paper and then it’s really clear the typical passage into Pedro Ximenez’s barrel declined with raisin and grape must. P: A mixture of sweet and salty tastes: a fruity-sweety beginning, syruped peaches, sour cherries, sherry and ice-cream, then comes salty flavors like smoked salmon, spices and finally syrup against cough. F: Very short, little memories of sangria, sour cherries, liquorice and salty pistachios. An OB Laphroaig sweeted by the passage into Pedro Ximenez’s barrel, but according to us this last one experiment ruins the main quality of the scotch and “cheats” the best strong notes like medicine and vegetable.

Like the Triple Wood, the Laphroaig PX Cask is a whisky matured in three different barrels, with the final maturation of the PX Cask in a Pedro Ximénez barrel. The triple maturation leads to a wonderfully fruity / peaty combination and results in a great NAS Single Malt.

I just tasted a recent 2017 bottling of this and I am fairly surprised that its still as good as I remember it to be. The px makes it easy to sip at 48%abv while still maintaining these lovely classic medicinal and leathery laphroaiggy notes. Not overtly complex but very enjoyable and definetly good value for money.

Нос	87	Laphroaig hides behind px orchestra, almost shy of it self. I have to say that sharry notes are well married with this Islay iodine/seaweedy maritime breeze. It is sweet and complex but not as much powerful as many Laphroaigs are. Sweet vanilla and dried apricots, salty peat smoke and seaweed. Medicinal notes are present. Very nice for a nas I suppose.
Вкус	87	Sweet peat smoke, oily and potent on the palate. Smoked chocolate and lemon zest. Medicinal and a bit iodiny. Sherry is far from dominating this Laphy A solid nas from my favorite distillery.

For my money the best Travel Retail Exclusive bottle you can buy. It comes in a grande sized 1L bottle, it’s full flavored, and packs a punch at 48% abv. If you are a fan of the Laphroaig Quarter Cask, this will be right up your alley their flavor profiles are extremely similar. The only real difference is an additional finish in a PX Sherry Cask which infuses the vanilla smoke of the Quarter Cask with lovely citrus and sweet caramelized onions.

notesofmalt Expert Senior 85 16 jul 2015 1:57 pm

Laphroaig PX Cask, 48% alc. original bottling Aging: Bourbon, Quarter , PX Sherry Region: Islay, Scotland Nose: Subtle peat smoke, medically with aromas of iodine and disinfectants, also a bit earthy and salty. Behind it comes a light leather note. Shortly afterwards the fruits are added, strawberries, peaches and a hint of oranges, sweet and ripe. With the fruit the smoke changes towards campfire, bacon and grilled meat. All in all, not very intrusive. Palate: smoked fish, grilled meat, smoker and pepper. A lot of ham and bacon in salt, with a mild fruit note, including raspberries. Then there is toffee and delicate vanilla. Finish: Very long, the smoke is getting more medical. Otherwise comes in the finish also a stronger spice to the fore, which also mix a few culinary herbs. Conclusion: Despite the missing age a nice whisky with a really nice Laphroaig profile. The sherry casks just round off a bit and do not prevail. 85/100 points (tasted 2015, approx. 90 € for the liter bottle) Thanks to whic.de for the sample and the photo!

The Laphroaig PX Cask is made with whisky matured in three types of cask - American oak casks, Quarter casks and the titular Pedro Ximénez casks. This leads to a flavour profile which ties together classic, powerful Laphroaig smoke and wine-like sweetness. It was originally released for Travel Retail.

In the nose the typical Laphroaig smoke, behind it herbal sweetness, like a honey ham wrapped in herbs. Behind it a nice note of vanilla.
