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. It's considered a good option for those who are looking for a rich and smoky single malt whisky with a unique and intense flavor profile, thanks to the extra maturation in the smaller casks. It's considered a core expression of the distillery and it's widely distributed. This expression provides a unique and intense flavor profile, with a good balance of smokiness and complexity, and it's a great option for those looking for a rich and flavorful whisky.

Islay single malt Scotch whiskey is produced at the Laphroaig distillery. It is called after the region of land near the mouth of Loch Laphroaig on the island of Islay's southern shore. The toponym's meaning is uncertain, although an often proposed derivation contains the words 'lag,' which is Gaelic for 'hollow,' 'breid,' which is Norse for 'breadth,' and 'vik,' which is Norse for 'bay,' suggesting an initial Gaelic form that may be something like 'Lag Bhrdhaig' (the hollow of Broadbay). The placename 'Praig,' which is also supposed to mean 'wide bay,' on the east coast of Islay may be linked to the name. Suntory Holdings of Japan's American affiliate, Beam Suntory, owns and runs the distillery and the brand. Since the first drop of whisky came off the still in 1815, distillery management have handed on their heritage of manufacturing whiskey. The art of Laphroaig has been guarded by Ian Hunter, Bessie Williamson, John MacDougal, Denise Nicole, Iain Henderson, John Campbell, and our newest distillery manager, Barry MacAffer. Naturally, each person brought their own impact, but everyone recognized the distinctive qualities that make Laphroaig the whiskey it is. The Kilbride Stream, hand-cut peat, floor-malted barley, mash tuns, cold-smoking kilns, copper alchemy, and the finesse of oak aging. Each and every step is important in creating the Scotch whisky with the most complex flavors.
