Laphroaig Quarter Cask carries the unmistakable soul of Islay, bold, smoky, and unapologetically characterful. Inspired by traditional small casks once used for faster, deeper maturation, it delivers a whisky that feels both historic and intensely alive.

Laphroaig Quarter Cask Single Malt Scotch Whisky 1L
Brand: Laphroaig | Category: Single Malt Scotch Whisky | ABV: 48% | Origin: Islay, Scotland | Vol: 1L

Tasting Profile:
Nose: Waves of peat smoke, warm oak, coconut sweetness, and seaside brine.

Finish: Long, warming, and smoky with lingering sweetness and a touch of sea salt.

Production Details:
Matured first in standard barrels before being transferred into smaller quarter casks, the whisky benefits from greater wood contact. This old-school method enhances richness, deepens the smoke, and brings out a creamy, rounded sweetness that defines the expression.

Perfect For:
Sipping by the sea, unwinding after long days, peat-lover gatherings, or sharing with friends who appreciate intense, uncompromising flavour.

Expert Notes:
Celebrated for its balance of heavy peat and unexpected sweetness, Quarter Cask stands out as one of the most rewarding introductions to Laphroaig’s traditional craftsmanship.

Customer Reviews:
“A smoky beast, but surprisingly smooth. My favourite Laphroaig.”
“Rich, sweet, and powerful, this one sticks with you.”
“Quarter Cask is the perfect step up from the 10. Full of character.”

Interesting Fact:
The quarter cask technique dates back to the 19th century, originally used by smugglers because the smaller barrels were easier to transport on horseback.

Serving Suggestions:
A splash of water opens the creamy sweetness, while serving neat highlights the raw, smoky intensity.

Distillery Background:
Founded in 1815 on the rugged coast of Islay, Laphroaig has built its reputation on traditional practices, floor malting, peat-fired kilns, and coastal warehousing that shapes its iconic maritime smoke. It remains one of the most distinctive voices in Scotch whisky.
