Laphroaig Quarter Cask 2025 Release Single Malt Whisky

Laphroaig Quarter Cask 2025 Release Single Malt Whisky

Part of the Cask Collection from Laphroaig, Quarter Cask Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky is twice aged to amplify deep peat and add a surprising sweetness. Contact with the wood of smaller quarter-sized casks makes it our most lively expression. Double matured in ex-bourbon barrels and American oak quarter casks. 

    Nose:    Smouldering peat with aromas of coconut and banana.

    Taste:    Deep, complex, smoky. And a surprising gentle sweetness.

    Finish:   Really long, drying with appropriate smoke and spice.

Sometimes referred to as the most richly flavoured of all Scotch whiskies, Laphroaig is one of the most iconic island distilleries. With its smoky and iodine flavours, Laphroaig embodies the Islay identity.
Although the exact etymology isn’t known, Laphroaig is said to mean “broad hollow by the bay” in Gaelic. This references its location, a small basin on Islay’s southern coast. However, it officially operated under the business name of D. Johnston & Co throughout most of its history after Donald and Alexander Johnston, who in 1815 founded their distillery on the island’s south coast.
