Laphroaig Quarter Cask

Description

Laphroaig Quarter Cask Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky (70cl / 48%)

This expression offers an irresistible doubling of flavour due to the double maturation in two casks made of American oak. Still-maturing whisky from our standard ex-bourbon barrels is transferred to quarter casks and left to rest in our warehouse just a stone’s throw from the Atlantic shore. This process represents Laphroaig breathing new life into a once-defunct tradition: the use of the smaller cask size, which ensures increased contact with the oak, creating a soft and velvety edge to complement Laphroaig’s distinctive peatiness.

Tasting Notes

Colour; Full sparkling gold.

Nose; Burning embers of peat in a crofter’s fireplace, hints of coconut and banana aromas.

Palate; Deep, complex and smoky yet offers and surprises the palate with a gentle sweetness.

Finish; Really long, and dries appropriately with smoke and spice.
