The beautiful richness & complexity in this malt come partly from the small barrel maturation. A kaleidoscope of flavours, underpinned by peat & oak. Fantastic.

From the November Old Line Scotch Club meeting, this was a good Islay whisky with peat, smoke and brine. Good QPR. #laphroaigquartercask #whisky #oldlinescotchclub

Evergreen, grapefruit, gingerbread, green onion, cedar, band-aid, and a very clean, smoky peat bouquet! Ridiculously generous complexity on the palate, ranging from caramelized tea biscuit, to smoked, candied lemon peel, parsnip and gunpowder. Long, lingering finish.

Bold and peaty, surprisingly complex and especially smooth for a NAS. Likely new go-to

Nicely rounded with smaller cask. Maybe sherry or orloroso. Big peat per usual.

A more malty and fruity expression of Laphroaig.

スモーキーさは余りなく、ラフロイグっぽさは薄れる。飲みやすい軽い感じ。
