Laphroaig Quarter Cask Single Malt

Tasting Notes

70cl/48% ABV Islay Scotland Comes with Gift Box Tube! 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. Colour: Full sparkling gold. Nose: Burning embers of peat in a crofters 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, dries appropriately with smoke & spice.
