Description

Introduced in 2004, the Quarter Cask was Laphroaig's answer to a simple idea: smaller casks mean more wood per drop of spirit. After ex-Bourbon maturation it finishes in quarter casks, and the extra contact pushes the whole thing harder.

Those small casks accelerate the exchange, drawing more oak influence and a sweeter depth into a young, vigorous spirit.

At 48% and unchilled, the medicinal peat is intense, oily smoke and vanilla over old wood and citrus. One of the great-value Laphroaigs.
