Laphroaig Quarter Cask

Islay

Laphroaig Quarter Cask takes its inspiration from the small casks often used for Scotch whisky in the 19th century. The small casks give up to 30% more wood contact intensifying the maturation process and somewhat taming the sea air. This whisky is barrier filtered and bottled at a higher strength.

Color:  Pale Amber

Nose:  Peat, oak and apricots.
