Laphroaig Quarter Cask Single Malt Scotch Whisky

CRITICAL ACCLAIM:

“The whisky begins sweet and creamy, with notes of vanilla, honey, and ripe malt (reminiscent of a malting floor). Then the Laphroaig signature peat smoke, seaweed, tar, and medicinal notes emerge. Bottling at 48% and without chill-filtering keeps the whisky from being dulled down. A whisky that is very dynamic. Nicely done.” - 91 PTS., WINE ADVOCATE (02/2020)

DISTILLERY NOTES:

OVERVIEW: “Laphroaig Quarter Cask 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.”

TASTING: “COLOUR - Full sparkling gold; NOSE - Smouldering peat with aromas of coconut and banana​; PALATE - Deep, complex, smoky. And a surprising gentle sweetness; FINISH - Really long, drying with appropriate smoke and spice.​”

MATURATION: “Double matured ex-Bourbon barrels and American oak quarter casks.”
