Tasting note
Double matured in American oak barrels; glistening gold colour in the glass, with lively aromas of peat smoke, vanilla, coconut and banana; the increased oak contact creates a soft velvety mouthfeel that is complemented by distinctive peatiness, followed by smoke and soft sweetness leading to a long drying finish.
Laphroaig Quarter Cask is a sparkling gold colour and has an immediate aroma of peat smoke underlined by hints of coconut cream. There are flavours of peat smoke alternating with a gentle sweetness and a hint of salt on the palate of this full-bodied long finishing Scotch whiskey.
Full sparkling gold. Burning embers of peat in a crofters fireplace, hints of coconut and banana aromas. Deep, complex and smoky yet offers and surprises the palate with a gentle sweetness. Really long, and dries appropriately with smoke and spice.
This Islay single malt is autumn gold in colour with a slightly peaty nose and smooth, velvety coconut aroma. The taste is soft velvet with a creamy, zesty orange finish.
