Laphroaig Quarter Cask

Country: Scotland

Region: Islay

Type: Single Malt

Bottler: Distiller

ABV: 48%

Score: 88 Points

The nose is peaty and medicinal with brine and campfire smoke, and that carries over to the intensely peaty taste, with notes of creosote, burned oak, and hints of vanilla. The finish has notes of wood smoke and peat, with a hint of grassiness as the smokiness fades.
