Laphroaig Scotch Whisky Quarter Cask 750ml

Double-Matured for Twice the Character

Laphroaig Quarter Cask is a bold reimagining of the classic Islay single malt, inspired by the illicit distillers of old who aged their whisky in small casks for faster maturation. After initial aging in standard ex-bourbon barrels, this expression is finished in quarter casks — smaller barrels that dramatically increase the spirit-to-wood contact ratio, accelerating flavor development and adding a rich, creamy sweetness that beautifully balances Laphroaig's signature peat smoke.

Tasting Notes

• Nose: Sweet vanilla and coconut lead the way, followed by waves of peat smoke, sea salt, and a hint of toasted oak
• Palate: Lush and full-bodied with layers of creamy toffee, smoky peat, dried fruit, and a touch of spice from the small cask influence
• Finish: Long and warming with a satisfying interplay of sweet vanilla, lingering smoke, and coastal brine
