Laphroaig Quarter Cask

Product Description

Laphroaig Quarter Cask is a single malt Scotch whisky produced by the Laphroaig Distillery on the island of Islay in Scotland. The distillery is known for producing heavily peated whiskies. The Quarter Cask expression is aged in ex-bourbon casks for a period of around 5-7 years before being transferred to smaller casks called quarter casks (or "quarters" for short) for a further period of maturation. The smaller casks have a larger surface area to volume ratio, which allows for more interaction between the whisky and the wood, imparting more flavor and character to the final product. The whisky is described as having a rich and powerful flavor profile, with notes of peat smoke, seaweed, and dark chocolate, with a hint of dried fruit and a sweetness, balanced with a gentle spice. The finish is long, warming and smoky. The Laphroaig Quarter Cask is considered a unique and highly sought-after expression, it's highly recommended to be enjoyed neat or with a drop of water. Laphroaig Quarter Cask is considered a widely available expression and it's considered a great value for the price.
