Laphroaig Single Malt Whisky PX Cask 1.0L 48% History and production of the Laphroaig PX Cask: The single malt whiskies from the Laphroaig distillery are among the smokiest and most flavorful in Scotland. Millions of fans around the world love the strong phenolic smoke that is produced by particularly heavily peated malt. The standard bottlings from Laphroaig are undeniably among the absolute classics and can be found in practically every bar. But Laphroaig is by no means resting on its laurels. Numerous new interpretations of the popular single malt have recently been released, all of which impress with their unique cask management. The Laphroaig PX Cask is undoubtedly one of these. The Laphroaig PX Cask is matured in a total of three different barrels and therefore proudly presents the “Triple Matured” label on the label. Storage begins in former bourbon barrels made of American white oak. These ensure an initial rounding of the taste. The resulting single malt whisky corresponds roughly to the 10-year-old standard bottling in terms of its composition and taste. Through further finishing, the desired aroma load of the other two barrels can now be specifically integrated into the taste profile in order to significantly increase the complexity. Next, so-called quarter casks are used for the Laphroaig PX Cask. These are small oak barrels with a capacity of just 50 litres, which, due to their small volume, ensure greater contact between the single malt whisky and the wood, thereby significantly intensifying the maturation process. The final finishing is very special and unique to Laphroaig. Hand-picked Pedro Ximénez sherry barrels are used. The sweet, heavy sherry ensures that rich aromas of raisins, apricots, nuts and plums are transferred to the single malt and provide an inimitable taste profile. Like many of the new bottlings from Laphroaig, the PX Cask was originally only designed for travel value. It is therefore all the more pleasing that we can now offer you the Laphroaig PX Cask in larger quantities in the drinkology shop. Taste of the Laphroaig PX Cask: In the nose, the Laphroaig PX Cask initially shows typical sherry aromas. Raisins, dried apricots, candied oranges and roasted nuts are present. These are supported by a delicate, pleasantly sweet smoky note. In the background, there are also hints of liquorice. Overall, the Laphroaig PX Cask has a truly exceptional aroma profile. The otherwise typical smokiness is reduced and the sweet sherry influences come to the fore without being intrusive. The composition achieved in this way is very well balanced and harmonious. A similar picture can be seen in the taste. The Laphroaig PX Cask is initially dominated by sweet sherry notes, which are surrounded by delicate smoke and spicy oak.

The Laphroaig PX Cask is a truly fabulous single malt whisky and an absolute must for lovers of the distillery. But even beginners who otherwise find the strong smokiness too intense will get their money's worth here.

Benromach Single Malt Whisky 10 years 0.7L 43% The Benromach distillery, built in 1898 in Forres near Elgin, was taken over by the Urquhart family in 1993. Their aim was to revive the lost Speyside style with malted barley and a hint of peat smoke. This traditional process dates back to the time when all malthouses in Speyside used peat as fuel, which gave the Benromach whiskies their characteristic taste. The reopening of the distillery in 1998 by Prince Charles marked the return of a lost Speyside single malt style. The distillery relies on tradition and craftsmanship. The highly qualified master distillers rely exclusively on their senses and experience to produce the award-winning handmade whisky. The four ingredients barley, water, yeast and a human touch form the basis. The mash is stirred by hand, water flow and grist are manually controlled and fermentation takes place in larch washbacks. Double distillation in bespoke copper stills produces a medium-strength spirit suitable for variable maturation periods. The quality of the casks, particularly first-fill oak casks after wort with bourbon or sherry, is crucial to the flavour and character of the whisky. The maturation process is strictly controlled to ensure excellent quality standards. The 10-year-old Benromach Single Malt Whisky is a golden amber. Sweet green apple and pear unfold on the nose, accompanied by creamy dark honey. Gentle smoke is accompanied by a development of gentle vanilla notes. On the palate, gentle flavours of malted grain and compote combine with warm toffee and a hint of black cherry. The full-bodied finish presents malty grain and gentle smoke.
