Laphroaig Quarter Cask
Single Islay Malt Scotch Whisky
A vibrant young Laphroaig whose maturation has been speeded up by ageing in Quarter Casks. This shows soft sweetness and a velvety feel when first tasted, then the intense peatiness so unique to Laphroaig comes bursting through. A really terrific whisky and great value.

Posted on 27 Nov 2007 :

Having been a Laphroaig drinker for many years, I must say I was more than pleasantly surprised to nose and naturally taste the quarter cask. I was even more surprised that my wife had noticed it on a supermarket shelf and bought it for me! I found it extremely enjoyable from the first to the last drop which sadly came too soon. Maybe I will have to take the wife Christmas Shopping? Posted By: David Hughes. North Wales

Tasting Notes:

Tasting Notes by Dr. Whisky

Seductive smells. Ripe, new-make barley sweetness. A barbecue. A flower. A sooty chimney. A horse. A can of condensed milk. A slice of apple and a piece of Gouda. An amazingly tactile nose, if that makes sense; the aromas seem to make physical contact, they touch me.

Oak. Fruit. Grandparents' musty apartments. Soft impact that is very sensual and easy at the higher-than-normal abv%. Toffee and stubbed cigarettes. Nutty cheesiness. Slow arrival of a huge peaty impact and a cloud of smoke. Smoky finish with biscuity chewiness hanging around.

SUMMARY:  An absolute treat to drink. Full-on and not for every mood, but hearty as a good stew. A sweeter, softer, friendlier Laphroaig that still manages to fill every corner of the house of your senses with the medicinal peatiness in ways that only Laphroaig can. And should. And does.

Tasting Notes by TF

Nose:  Powerful smoke, sweet malt, wet turf, coal.  Develops chocolate & cinnamon.

Palate:  Full-bodied, rich and mouth-coating. Delicious sweet gristy malt and rich peat, woodsmoke.  The coal appears mid-palate.

Finish:  Very long, sweet and smoky, with the coal lingering longest.

Comment:  A belter.  Denser and deeper than the 10 yr-old.  Very more-ish.
