Laphroaig Quarter Cask offers an irresistible doubling of flavour due to the double maturation in two casks made of American oak. On the nose the sensation is toffee and caramel, caused by the vanillas and tannins of the American oak, plus a dryness from the wood oil. The finish is long and alternates between this sweetness and smoke. COLOUR Full sparkling gold. NOSE Burning embers of peat in a crofter's fireplace, hints of coconut and banana aromas. BODY Full bodied. PALATE Deep, complex and smoky yet offers and surprises the palate with a gentle sweetness. FINISH Really long, and dries appropriately with smoke and spice.
