Laphroaig Quarter Cask

General description

90, piney resinous peat with barnyard and mechanic shop hints, some sweet apple or pear, a little thin in midpalate, but luxurious long finish with just a tinge of alcohol bite. Great value.

General description

Wonderful, powerful Islay dram. Driftwood in the ocean surf. Faintly metallic.

Nose

Mineral, medically peated, vanilla, mandarine. very much like Lore.

Palate

Spicy-sweet and very strong. Salt caramel and 40% cocoa chocolate. A bit like licking a rock on the beach.

Finish

Still salty and the chocolate. Long finish!

General description

Kein schlechter Whisky, aber dumpf und undefiniert im Geschmack

Nose

Ölig, holzig, salzig; Fischhafen, gegrillter Fisch; Meeresbrise mit blumiger Begleitung; medizinischer Oberton

Palate

Zuerst süß, dann salzig; leicht scharf (Alkohol); bittere Asche; wieder medizinisch nach Krankenhaus

Finish

Dumpf und bitter; nach wie vor medizinisch wie Bandage

General description

Great whisky. First tried the 10 year old and I prefere this a little more. It packs more of a punch. Peat, seaweed, smoke. Everything you want in a laphroaig.

General description

OMG!!! My first peted whiskey. I am inlove

General description

My first taste of scotch a few years ago so very dear to my heart! Love the smoke and peat!

General description

Love the peat...strong...really nice finish

General description

Nice strong peaty flavor. I directly get the feeling of standing in the salty strong wind on the scottisch shores. This strong and good taste remains fie a long time in my mouth and systerm. Very nice and relaxing feeling.

General description

Toller Whisky von einer super sympathischen Brennerei. Der Quarter Cask kommt sehr medizinisch und phenolisch um die Ecke und überzeugt in allen Belangen. TOP!

General description

Love it!

General description

very good dram for this price. with some drops of water he show his full taste

General description

Einer meiner Lieblingswhisky. Rauchig, feuchtes Moos, etwas Zitrus in der Nase. Angenehm im Mund. Eiche kommt trotz jungem Alter recht gut durch.
Ein sehr toller Whisky für einen Hammerpreis.

General description

topper

General description

Not disappointed with this peaty full flavoured scotch...

General description

Nose

something sweet nutty, immediately followed by salty tones, wet ash, firewood, smoke, and mineral peatiness

Taste

smoke, more smoke, peat, mineral, sweet and salt (band aid), sweet and sour, some alcohol roughness and yes... smoke

Finish

long, smoke and toffee, wet peat, something oily.

Comments

price quality ratio tough to beat, if you love smoke. Gives you the things the more recent 10 yo has been lacking a bit. A solid and proud 86 points!

General description

Perfectly combi of complexity, sweetness and peat

General description

My first Islay, and I'm immediately hooked.

Nose

smoke, pipe residue, mossy, wet hay, vanilla, medicinal, sea spray

Palate

Sweeter than expected. Peaty, grassy, vanilla, brine, smoke, almost meaty, slightly oily

Finish

sweet hay, smoke, medicinal, light salt

General description

The dram that got me in to whisky.

General description

Einmal rauch in die fresse bitte! Perfekt!

General description

Perfekte Balance zwischen Rauch und Eiche zu einem super Preis-Vergleich!

Nose

Rauch, Asche und Jod und Krankenhaus. Später Gewürze und reife Banane.

Palate

Wieder Rauch und etwas süß. Dann Gewürze. Komplex.

Finish

Langer, trockener und rauchiger Abgang mit deutlicher Eiche. Super!

General description

General description

A fine Islay single malt whisky. Are you a peat and smoke addict or Islay nut? Than yes you found your winner. Not my personal favorite but like it better than Talisker 10 YO

General description

fucking amazing

General description

What a whisky this is!!!
The nose has now, two weeks after opening this bottle become a litlle softer.
But peat, sea, herbs and sweet ripe dark fruits are all prominent there and perfectly balanced.
On the palet the same tastes are there again, but now packed in a heavenly embalming oil surrounding tongue and cheeks.
The finish again is perfectly balanced with the same tastes. This time with a bonus of a lovely sweet spicyness.
This lovely tastes keeps tickling you taste buds for quite a while.
Alcohol is almost not present despite of its 48%.
A must have if you are a lover of peat.
Almost perfect this one

95 points.

General description

My first own bottle of whisky and the reason why I yearned for more. Fantastic peaty taste.

General description

it tastes like band aids how do people enjoy this

General description

just like the 10 yo but the flavor is a little more interesting/stronger. maybe because of the higher alc %. hard to describe... you just have to try it ;-).

General description

Young matured whiskey from Islay. around 5 years and another 6months in quarter cask. Strong to the nose. Strong peat and smoked flavor staying medium to long in the mouth. Goes very well in the rocks or with drops of water. Different type of whiskey for me not used to Strong peats.

General description

Nossing is a bit rought due to strong alcohol vent and tongue is also occupied with the strong alcohol. No always, but 50-50 I really feel matured bananas, ofcourse there is the sweetness at the end and the end is longlasting.

General description

STRONG peaty and smokey taste. Would very much recommend if this fits your taste preferences. This is very much a Scotch you want to slowly enjoy especially on a cold autumn or winter day. Not necessarily for regular enjoyment per se.

General description

This whisky has been on my wishlist for some time. It is a strong flavor with a lovely aftertaste. No regrets on my side

General description

delicious!! wonderful smoke and peat. salty on the palate, some fruit then medicinal TCP and more peat! love this stuff!

General description

I tasted it for days... too smoky

General description

way to smoky for me. taste like medicine to me. by the bottom of the bottle it was tolerable.

General description

peaty, salty, bit smoky, very strong but very long finish. nose makes you travel a lot!

General description

Another good selection from Laphroaig, though not my favorite. The abv is higher which overwhelms the natural flavors that make Laphroaig so great.

General description

Une odeur de fumée et d'air salin, de tourbe, un goût salé, légèrement sucré... Un grand scotch du Islay

General description

one of my favourites

General description

Not for beginners! Strong peatiness backed up by %48 ABV will have those unfamiliar with Islay whiskys begging for mercy. Excellent dram!

General description

This is a 48% scotch with enough peat and smoke to knock over fragile bistanders: Beware! Once you've acquired the taste, there's none better.

General description

heavy peated.
its getting used to, but once you get through it, it is very nice.

General description

Une version bien réussie.

General description

It's a stable in the liquor cabinet

General description

泥煤味道较重。

General description

peat smoke oak nothing more to say

General description

Необычный вкус. Хороший островной виски

General description

A peat bomb! Having smaller casks really works as layers of flavour hit your palate. Would buy again in a heartbeat

General description

Was the first scotch that I bought. Couldn't have it at first, but, came to absolutely love it. Peaty and briny.

General description

No

General description

Mellower than the 10yo, less peaty and more woody. Very nice altogether.

General description

Big peat, smoke, and seaweed. Not for the faint but a must have for a salty dog!

General description

good.
