Laphroaig Quarter Casks

Laphroaig Quarter Cask offers an intensified expression of the distillery's signature peat smoke by using a double maturation process. After initial aging in standard ex-bourbon barrels, the spirit is transferred into much smaller "quarter casks." This smaller vessel size creates up to 30% more wood-to-liquid contact, significantly accelerating the maturation process and adding a creamy, velvet-like texture. The result is a bold whisky that balances the classic medicinal, seaweed, and heavy peat notes of Laphroaig with an enhanced sweetness of coconut, vanilla, and toasted oak. It is bottled at a higher strength and is non-chill filtered for a more robust mouthfeel.
