Special Features: The Laphroaig PX Cask Single Malt Whisky is characterized by a triple maturation: First, it is aged in former bourbon barrels, followed by a transfer to smaller quarter casks, and finally finished in Pedro Ximénez sherry casks. This complex barrel combination gives the whisky a harmonious balance between smoky and sweet aromas.
