- Description
- Laphroaig's Quarter Cask expression accelerates maturation in smaller wood, delivering Islay's signature tar and iodine character with unexpected softness on entry. The intense peatiness builds steadily, complemented by subtle sweetness from the active oak influence and a velvety texture that softens the smoke's edges. An excellent introduction to peated whisky for those daunted by full-strength bottlings.
