Laphroaig Quarter Cask Single Malt Whisky 70cl

Laphroaig Quarter Cask Single Malt Whisky

Laphroaig quarter cask single malt whisky is twice aged to amplify deep peat and add a surprising sweetness. Contact with the wood of smaller quarter-sized casks makes it our most lively expression.

• On the nose the sensation is toffee and caramel, caused by the vanillas and tannins of the American oak
• Ther is also a dryness from the wood oil
• The finish of this is long and alternates between this sweetness and smoke

This expression offers an irresistible doubling of flavour due to the double maturation in two casks made of American oak. They transfer still-maturing from their standard ex-bourbon barrels to quarter casks and left to rest in their warehouse just a stone’s throw from the Atlantic shore.

This process represents 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.
