Review transfer from Barreled from February 2016. What an amazing scotch is this Laphroaig Quarter Cask! It has caramel colorant added but it is non chill filtered and weighs in at a nice 48% ABV. Wonderful peat and brine/salt come through on the nose and palate. It lingers on the tongue and is perfect for a cold winters night or a cool summers eve in front of a nice bonfire. Laphroaig is in a constant battle with Lagavulin and Talisker for my favorite scotch, and a fierce battle it is. Quarter Cask is my go to Laphroaig and I highly recommend it. 4.5 Addendum: I doubt this is still my go to Laphroaig since the release of Lore and since I’ve gotten to know the 10 a little better.
