This expression is aged for approximately 5 years in bourbon barrels before spending a final few months in quarter casks. Characteristic tar, engine oil, and ashy peat on the nose. Oily and full on the palate, with sweet grain notes, cinnamon, seaweed, hot peat, and black pepper. The finish is long and powerful, with persistent peat and chili, plus a sprinkling of sea salt.

Laphroaig Quarter Cask Single Malt Whisky offers an irresistible doubling of flavour, due to the double maturation in two barrels made of American oak. Still-maturing whisky from our standard ex-bourbon barrels is transferred to quarter casks and left to rest in our warehouse just a stone’s throw from the Atlantic shore. This process represents Laphroaig breathing new life into a once-defunct tradition: the use of the smaller cask size, which ensures increased contact with the oak, creating a soft and velvety edge to complement Laphroaig’s distinctive peatiness. On the nose the sensation is toffee and caramel, caused by the vanillas and tannins of the American oak, plus a dryness from the wood oil. The finish is long and alternates between this sweetness and smoke.

Single Malt

Single malt whiskey, a pinnacle of craftsmanship in the world of spirits, is an exclusive and revered expression, meticulously distilled at a single distillery from 100% malted barley. This particular production process imparts a singular and authentic character to the whiskey, capturing the essence of the distillery's location, climate, and traditional methods. As it matures in oak barrels, the single malt develops a complex flavor profile, often featuring a harmonious blend of malt sweetness, fruity notes, and hints of oak, creating a nuanced and sophisticated drinking experience. Renowned for its quality and depth, single malt whiskey is often cherished by enthusiasts seeking the purest expression of a distillery's artistry and the distinct terroir from which it originates. Whether enjoyed neat, with a splash of water, or in a carefully crafted cocktail, single malt whiskey stands as a symbol of tradition, expertise, and the rich heritage of whiskey-making.
