Laphroaig Quarter Cask – 70cl 48%

This Islay single malt, the Quarter Cask from the Laphroaig distillery represents a perfect marriage of peat and oak.

Develops chocolate & cinnamon. Palate: Full-bodied, rich and mouth-coating. Delicious sweet gristy malt and rich peat, woodsmoke. The coal appears mid-palate. Finish: Very long, sweet and smoky, with the coal lingering longest.
