“I really love what the quater cask is doing here. Lots of sweet and pleasant woody flavours here. 48% is spot on for a whisky of this style in my view; a bit of bite and personality, but goes down just right. One of my favourite whiskys in this price range.”

Description

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.

Tasting Note by us with John Campbell at Laphroaig Distillery

Nose

Oily and buttery nose, with toffee, nuttiness, hickory, bicarbonate of soda, rum and raisin ice cream and zest.

Palate

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.

Finish

Medium-length, but becomes fruity, with custard and cigar smoke.

Islay in a glass

This is what Islay whisky is all about - peat and smoke and seaweed and at 48% ncf it has a rich and oily mouthfeel. There's a sweetness and fruitiness too ..... and did I mention PEAT. Love it or hate it as they say. Me? I love it. I have a couple of bottles of cask strength 011. It'll be interesting to compare.

Wonderfully smokey.

I was seduced by the smell of it when a friend had a glass in our local whisky bar. I was drinking the 10, which was my favourite whisky before I took a chance on this one. It's like drinking a top notch cigar. I love it.
