Laphroaig Quarter Cask offers an irresistible doubling of flavour due to its double maturation in two casks made of American oak. Still-maturing whisky from their standard ex-bourbon barrels is transferred to quarter casks and left to rest in a warehouse just a stone’s throw from the Atlantic shore.
This process breathes 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 that complements Laphroaig’s distinctive peatiness.
Available in a 700ml bottle, at 48% abv.

TASTING NOTES
NOSE
Burning embers of peat in a crofter's fireplace, hints of coconut and banana aromas.
TASTE
Deep, complex and smoky yet offers and surprises the palate with a gentle sweetness.
FINISH
Really long, and dries appropriately with smoke and spice.
