Laphroaig Quarter Cask Single Malt Scotch Whisky, 70 cl

• Laphroaig Quarter Cask has a depth of flavour achieved through a double maturation process along with the signature smoky taste of our peated whisky
• It starts its life the same way all Laphroaig whiskies do, in a time-honoured tradition which has been perfected over two centuries The malted barley is first smoked then dried over a fire fuelled by peat, hand-cut on the Isle of Islay After fermentation, it's aged in first-fill bourbon barrels, made from American oak While the whisky is still young, it's transferred to much smaller quarter casks This gives the spirit more contact with the wood, imparting warm and spicy oak flavours It's a method which was almost lost to time but has been revived in this whisky Finally, it is left to rest in our warehouse on the shores of the Atlantic Ocean
• Each sip of Laphroaig recalls the passion and hard work of the master distillers who have been explaining the each expression of this peated whisky since 1815. The natural features of Islay lend extra flavour to each complex blend, from the pure waters of the Kilbride stream to the smoky peat which can only be found on this rugged island. This whisky should be served over ice, on its own or with a splash of cold water
• Laphroaig Quarter Cask has impressed critics, taking home Gold awards from the 2019 San Francisco World Spirits Aware and the 2019 SIP Awards
• Laphroaig's signature green tinted glass makes it both distinctive and characterful and harks back to the organic materials used to create the whisky – while also speaking of the influence of the land and sea, evoking the humble origins of Laphroaig Each bottle of Laphroaig is packed in a traditional white tube, making it the suitable gift for any whisky lover
• Independent mechanical and electrical connection for enhanced safety

Laphroaig is the world’s most richly flavoured Scotch Whisky, providing the most distinctive and rewarding malt whisky experience. Founded in 1815, it is one of only a few distilleries that still uses traditional malting floors, and dries and infuses its own malt with the thick blue smoke from old peat-fired kilns. Laphroaig Quarter Cask revives a once-defunct tradition: The use of the smaller cask size, which ensures increased contact with the oak, creating a soft and velvety edge to complement Laphroaig’s distinctive peatiness. The process is an irresistible doubling of flavour, due to the double maturation in two barrels made of American oak. 2019 San Francisco World Spirits Awards Gold, 2019 SIP Awards Gold.
