Detailed info

Founded in 1815, this distillery is located not far from Lagavulin. The name "Laphroaig" is derived from the Gaelic "Lag a'mhor aig", which means "the beautiful hollow by the broad bay". We dare you to be indifferent! Laphroaig's whiskies may unsettle novices but aficionados just love their very powerful flavours of smoke, seaweed and this undeniable touch that some qualify as "medicinal".

As its name indicates, Laphroaig Quarter Cask is aged in smaller casks than the distillery's other offerings. True to its roots, it displays the maker's typical profile, with a more present woody character reminiscent of caramel, coconut, banana and vanilla. The aging in Bourbon casks accentuate this profile, adding fragrances of brandied cherries.

(Automatically translated) This product, aged for about 5 years followed by a few months in smaller barrels nicknamed "Quarter Cask", is among the most intense expressions offered by the Laphroaig distillery. Its young age and its 48% alcohol allow it to express its full peated potential.

(Automatically translated) Excellent peated scotch! The smaller barrel allows the product to have more contact with the wood. This has the effect of giving it a unique taste more woody than other similar Islay scotches while keeping the peat notes sought in this type of scotch.
