Full-bodied and peated Single Malt Whisky from Islay, with a deep and smoky taste, with sweet aromas, triple matured in ex-Bourbon cask, Quarter Cask and Pedro Ximenez butt
The Whisky Single Malt “PX Cask Triple” by Laphroaig born and aging wisely for years on the island of Islay, wet Atlantic Ocean, the cornerstone of the distillery. The cured distillation at every stage, starting from the water coming from Kilbridge Dam, the malting process (part happens at the distillery), the choice of the barley and peat brackish which gives the finished product unmistakable aroma, are just some elements that make the whiskey Laphroaig unique. In addition to the careful work of man, the whiskey is shaped by the particular oceanic climate with winds, rains, storms and storm surges as well as the sweet influence of the calm sea in the days of full sun. From 1815 Laphroaig is produced in the same place with the same special care imposed by the brothers Johnston in past decades. The PX Cask Triple is a modified version of the well known and Triple Wood Quarter Cask and uses anche'esso a triple maturation. The first two are the same maturation of Tripe Wood, first in barrels Maker's Mark of American wood, then 6/9 months in the quarter cask. Subsequently the Triple Wood finishes his course in sherry casks from Jerez made with local variety of grapes Pedro Ximenez (hence the name). Bottling is a blend of whiskey 5/10 years, unfiltered cold and bottled at 48%. The result is a product divided by the strong taste and dirty, he does warn notes of barley sweet and juicy just behind the dark clouds of peat. Persistence long and peaty. A whiskey from great satisfaction.
