Because the second maturation takes place in smaller, quarter-sized casks, the spirit has more contact with wood. This lends hints of coconut, banana and vanilla to the instantly recognizable Laphroaig flavour of smoky peat complemented by a surprising sweetness.
It should be enjoyed alone, over ice or with a splash of water to fully pay tribute to the unique flavour. Laphroaig Quarter Cask begins its maturation in ex-bourbon barrels and, while still aging, is transferred to small quarter casks. Aging in smaller barrels revives an old tradition, paying tribute to the master distillers who have perfected the Laphroaig process over two centuries.

Laphroaig Quarter Cask has a depth of flavour achieved through a double maturation process. Along with the signature smoky taste of our peated whisky you'll also find notes of coconut, vanilla and banana that are imparted by close contact with American white oak. This delicious whisky should be served simply — over ice, on its own or with a splash of cold water.
It starts its life the same way all Laphroaig whiskies do, in a time-honored 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 perfecting 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 found on this rugged island.
Laphroaig Quarter Cask has impressed critics, taking home Gold awards from the 2019 San Francisco World Spirits Aware and the 2019 SIP Awards.
