Laphroaig Quarter Cask Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky

Experience the bold legacy of Laphroaig with the Quarter Cask, a Scotch that breathes new life into a centuries-old tradition. By utilizing a double maturation process, this Islay Single Malt transitions from standard ex-bourbon barrels into smaller quarter casks, allowing the spirit more intimate contact with the American oak. The result is a masterfully balanced whisky that maintains Laphroaig’s legendary peat smoke while introducing a surprising, velvety sweetness inspired by the Atlantic coast.

Why You’ll Love This

• Enhanced Oak Interaction: The use of smaller quarter casks increases wood contact by up to 30%, creating a softer, more rounded edge.
• Double Maturation: Matured first in American oak ex-bourbon barrels before its final rest, ensuring a complex layering of flavors.
• Distinctive Islay Peat: Delivers the iconic smoky character Laphroaig is famous for, perfectly complemented by creamy vanilla and toffee.
• Full-Bodied Strength: Bottled at 48% ABV to preserve the depth of the oils and the richness of the coastal maturation.
• Long, Dynamic Finish: A lingering finish that oscillates beautifully between smoky embers and wood-driven sweetness.
