Description
Laphroaig Quarter Cask offers a delicious doubling of flavour, due to the double maturation in two barrels made of American oak. After a period of aging in standard bourbon barrels, the whisky is transferred to quarter casks and left to rest just a short distance away from the Atlantic ocean. The innovative use of the smaller cask size, allows for an increased contact with the oak, creating a rich and smooth edge to complement Laphroaig’s distinctive peatiness.
The nose opens with smouldering peat, coconut and banana notes, before leading to a deep and complex palate of sweet smoke. The finish is really long and drying, with touches of spice.
