Laphroaig Quarter Casks (48% - 70cl)
Laphroaig Quarter Casks
An irresistible complexity of flavors, thanks to the double maturation that takes place in two types of American oak casks. After aging in standard ex-bourbon barrels, the spirit is transferred for its final maturation into smaller casks.

The Laphroaig Quarter Casks is matured by reviving an old tradition: the use of a cask smaller than usual (called a "quarter cask"), which allows for greater contact between the whisky and the oak wood. The result is a smooth, velvety flavor that still retains Laphroaig’s signature character.
