Laphroaig's John Campbell explains that usage of the quarter cask (125 litres, a quarter of the size of a sherry cask) dates back to the 19th century. The smaller casks were easier for two men to load onto a pack horse and transport to wherever it needed to go. While Laphroaig Quarter Cask is a no age statement whisky, Campbell says the vattings of Quarter Cask are made up of 5 to 11 year old whiskies matured in first-fill ex-bourbon casks which are then re-casked into first-fill ex-bourbon quarter casks for 7 to 12 months.
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.
