Laphroaig Quarter Cask Whisky 70cl

I've not had a Laphroaig for a few years, gained a taste for the sherry end of the spectrum.
My God! This is better than I remember. The quarter cask concentrates the peaty iodine essence of Laphroaig wonderfully. It's not an easy dram, and not for the faint hearted, or even for anyone with any sort of restraint to their palate.

Definitely a distinctive drop this one. A bold loud statement.

Maybe one for cellar ageing. High sherry tones and none of the mellow of the Ten but you do have the extra 8%. The higher ABV seem to be the only thing pressing the price up.

Love Laphroaig, drink no other, but mix 10 and quarter cask, which for me, is my preferred tipple!

The choice between this and the 10 is really a difference in what kind of seasoning you prefer.
The 10 is more meaty. It has more body.
The QC is more spicy and brash.
Get the Lore and you have the best of both worlds.
I wanted to try the 18 but my preferred specialty whisky shop told me that it was in very short supply in my city and tried to charge me £250 for a bottle.

We clearly differ and this is good, thank goodness I'm with the lucky ones who find this SUBLIME!

Yes I did mean to buy the 10 but got Quarter Cask instead. Having since had the 10 I think I prefer this. The nose is roast pork, salty crackling and amazing I want to smell this all the time.

This Laphroaig Quarter Cask is a firework in a glass! I adore the fizz that I get on the palate, slipping down swiftly thereafter.

As a Friend of the distillery and having visited the place and partaken in some tasting sessions that included whisky of 30 years old, I declare this to be my personal favourite Laphroaig of all, I was lucky enough to win the right to buy one of the very first bottlings, which I drank rather than sell on the internet, highly recommend this as a very fine peated malt of reasonable value. I'm not usually a fan of this messing around with barrels malarkey, nor do I usually like young no age statement whisky, but this is the exception.

I'm still pretty new to Islay whisky, but I really like this.

An amazing Islay malt with silky sweet peat, brine, honey and chocolate notes that coat the tongue with a spice and citrus finish. More abv…yes please!!!!
