Released in 2004, this bottling was aged for around five years before being finished in a quarter cask for several months, the size of the cask is quite small, thus does not require such a long maturation. This remains a truly great achievement from Laphroaig.
Oily and buttery nose, with toffee, nuttiness, hickory, bicarbonate of soda, rum and raisin ice cream and zest.
Big rush of sweetness, in fact it’s an explosion of sweetness, with fiery chilli heat, TCP, sweet cereals and a touch of cola syrup.
Medium-length, but becomes fruity, with custard and cigar smoke.
it,s very good
The Quarter Cask is in my opinion, the best bang-for-your-buck Laphroaig around. A class above the 10 year-old, this is what Islay whisky is all about. Stunning.
Well worth the extra few quid, very cheap for the quality it produces. Fantastic dram for smoke lovers.
Perfect on a cold winter's night.
Although one would like to be a King it still gives one great pleasure to drink Laphroaig and dream of my old dog Camilla.
