Laphroaig Quarter Cask

Dom says "Laphroaig at it's best but without a scary price tag. Nose: Classic Islay. The same acerbic nip which you get from the smouldering remains of last night's fire, the faint tanginess of sea salt in the breeze, and traces of lemon juice. Palate: Big and intense, with peat to the fore but a surprisingly silky smooth and sweet follow through. It makes for classic thumping Laphroaig but surprisingly attracts some drinkers not normally enamoured by the distillery's offering. Finish: long and Laphroaigy"

michelles says "We drank a bottle of this a few years ago on holiday in Morocco and I got a bit tired of the extremely woody flavour. Coming back to quarter cask now I'm happy to say I like it a lot, lot more. Fruity, pears, apples, fried bacon rind, peaty, salty, vanilla, grapey, winey, still lots of wood but tempered by sweetness. Really nice."

Pat:

"Fabulous Laphraoig, this. Love it: Nose: Light peat on the nose. Sweeter than the 10. Pears. Liquorice allsorts (blue ones). Taste: Apples, aniseed, sweet smoke."
