Laphroaig Quarter Cask 700ml

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.

On the nose the sensation is toffee and?caramel, caused by the vanillas and tannins of?the American oak, plus a dryness from the?wood oil.

The finish is long and alternates between this?sweetness and smoke.
