Laphroaig 18 Year Old Darkness PX Cask Finish 52% ABV
The team behind the Darkness brand is into richly sherried expressions – and this Laphroaig bottling is no exception. The well-aged single malt finished its maturation journey in a tiny, Pedro Ximénez-seasoned octave cask. The vessel only holds around 50 litres! Thanks to the heightened oak-to-liquid surface area, the result is an intense, mouth-filling bottling that blends Laphroaig’s pronounced peat with the intense sherry influence.
Tasting note:
Nose: Baking spices, dried fruits and a powerful roadwork-like smoke jumps from the glass. The boldness is tempered by gentler fudge notes.
Palate: After an initial smoke hit, the palate is awash with rich spices: cinnamon, clove and even cumin. Nutty dark chocolate comes through later.
Finish: Long with dusty marzipan.
