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.
tHIS WHISKY I HAVE DRUNK ITS NOT GOOD AT ALL ITS LIKE A WATER ONLY...............
Great stuff from Laphroaig, keep it coming. For an Islay fan such as myself the Tripple Wood is a corner stone of a whsiky collection.
Loving Laphroaig Quarter Cask at the moment which I have just opened. Stunning whisky at the price. September 2012 I paid £29.95 from MoM! Fill your boots! Still good value but a massive 20% price increase in less than a year. Far superior to the standard 10 y.o. which I remember being very TCP-ish/medicinal. With this QC the closest you get to the medicine cabinet is a touch of bandages/plasters on the nose. Laphroaig now competing again with my other Islay favourites – can’t wait to try the triple wood next.
To chyba najlepsza torfowa/dymna whisky za te cene. Long live Laphroaig!!!!
This is a connoisseur's malt at a normal man's price. Beats the 10yo hands down. Laphroaig have further developed this with their triple wood. Even better again!!
