Laphroaig Quarter Cask Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky

Description

Double matured in American oak barrels; glistening gold colour in the glass, with lively aromas of peat smoke, vanilla, coconut and banana; the increased oak contact creates a soft velvety mouthfeel that is complemented by distinctive peatiness, followed by smoke and soft sweetness leading to a long drying finish.

Tasting Notes

'Quarter casks bring out the rich sweet, fruity flavours, making whiskies taste like they have been matured for twelve years when they have been in the cask for a far shorter time. The peat on the other hand, tastes as big and fresh as its age. The result; 6 year old peat in what seems a twelve year old fruity spirit. Perfect!' 1000 Whiskies you must taste before you die'. Distillery was established in 1815. Laphroaig still operates its own floor maltings, which provide up to 20% of its requirements.

Serving Suggestion

Try this peaty dram with smoked fish or serve neat.
