Laphroaig Quarter Cask isn’t just peaty, it’s primal. Aged first in standard barrels then re-casked in smaller American oak quarter casks, this Islay icon intensifies its boldness with deeper wood contact. The result? Smoke, spice, and serious impact in every sip.

Laphroaig Quarter Cask Single Malt Scotch Whisky 70cl
Brand: Laphroaig | Category: Islay Single Malt | ABV: 48% | Origin: Scotland | Vol: 700ml

Tasting Profile
Nose: Explosive peat smoke, charred oak, and coastal brine, think seaweed on a campfire.
Palate: Rich and mouth-coating. Waves of smoke, vanilla, salted caramel, and chili heat with a creamy oak core.
Finish: Long, smoky, and warming with a peppery, ashy tail and flashes of honey and licorice.

Production Details
After initial aging in standard ex-bourbon casks, this whisky is transferred to smaller quarter casks, reviving a 19th-century method that accelerates wood interaction and flavor extraction. Bottled at 48% and non-chill filtered for full body and intensity.

Perfect For
Late nights, seasoned peat lovers, or moments when you want your whisky to announce itself from across the room. It’s bold, unapologetic, and utterly satisfying.

Expert Notes
A cult favorite in the Laphroaig lineup. Quarter Cask is praised for combining Laphroaig’s classic medicinal peat with richer, sweeter oak notes, bridging brute force with balance.

Customer Reviews
“Like a peat campfire hugged by vanilla oak. Perfection.”   Aris J.

“This is Laphroaig with an extra gear. Love the power.”   Juno K.

Interesting Fact
Quarter casks were originally used in 19th-century whisky transport, smaller, easier to move by horseback. Today, they’re used to deliver faster, deeper flavor.

Serving Suggestions
Neat in a wide glass to let the smoke breathe. Add a few drops of water to amplify the sweetness and soften the fire or pair with grilled meats, smoked cheese, or dark chocolate for a perfect match.

Distillery Background
Founded in 1815 on Islay’s rugged southern coast, Laphroaig is one of the most distinctive voices in Scotch, beloved for its medicinal, smoky profile. Fiercely traditional and proudly polarizing, it’s a whisky you remember and return to.
