First released for the Travel Retail market, Laphroaig Four Oak features a marriage of whisky matured in a quartet of casks, namely ex-bourbon barrels, quarter casks, virgin American oak barrels and European oak hogsheads. Somewhat following on the theme from their popular Triple Wood expression...
Roasted coffee beans, almond pastries, sawdust and medicinal peat.
An intense waft of smoke as it opens, with earthy vanilla pod and subtle cookie dough following it up.
Drying, quite spicy and long.

To my palate this is the finest whisky I have ever tasted. The smoke of an Islay malt in a smooth liquor. I lack the tasting skills and language of the trade but for me this is like a summer camp fire beside a calm loch.
Taste ok. It's a young whisky. I will not buy it again
This is an unbelievable scotch that is my equal first favourite of all time. Medicinal peat?! Perhaps 3 day old tinea. Load of crap - sawdust. Has great depth and lingering flavours. Truly remarkable
Good taste. No water needed. I love QC. This was a bit less than what I hoped for but still great taste
Very enjoyable and distinctive smokey & complex oaky flavor! Not overpowering strength like lesser malts. I enjoy this more than a 20 year old Glenlivet.
