What it is
Laphroaig Quarter Cask is a single malt Scotch whisky from the island of Islay in Scotland, bottled at 96 proof (48% ABV). Part of the Laphroaig Cask Collection, it is finished in small quarter casks, which give the spirit more contact with the wood. This adds sweet oak and vanilla to the classic Laphroaig peat smoke.
