Laphroaig Quarter Cask
Single Malt
Laphroaig // Islay, Scotland
Harking back to the days of the 19th century, this bottling takes 5-11 year old aged whisky into smaller casks only 125 liters large (a quarter of a Sherry cask).
This was the size that two men could carry to market for sale back in the day.

Tasting Notes
"The additional wood contact certainly gives this young whisky an edge. Peat smoke isn't concentrated, despite what you might think. The oiliness is quite pronounced despite the sweet flavors of vanilla cream. This finishes dry and almost scratches your throat on the way down. Upon exhalation, the peat smoke is what remains."
