Laphroaig Quarter Cask 70cl Whisky
Laphroaig Quarter Cask
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.
Winner of 9 spirit awards
