Laphroaig Quarter Cask
Laphroaig Quarter Cask is a no-age-statement (NAS) Islay single malt Scotch whisky matured in ex-bourbon barrels and finished in smaller "quarter casks". Bottled at 48% ABV without chill filtration, it offers an intense, smoky, and maritime flavor profile-characterized by heavy peat, medicinal notes, and a surprising sweetness-amplified by increased wood contact

Nose: An intense blast of medicinal peat smoke, smouldering charcoal, and brine immediately softens into sweet notes of caramel, creamy vanilla, and banana
Palate: A rich, oily, and creamy arrival that balances powerful tarry smoke and phenolic peat with sharp wood spice, ginger, and caramelized citrus sweetness
Finish: Extremely long and drying, this finish leaves a lasting, warming echo of smoky oak, iodine, and tobacco ash.

Bruichladdich Port Charlotte Heavily Peated 2012
This high provenance, heavily-peated single malt was distilled from Islay-grown barley in 2012. A total of eight Islay farms came together to harvest the 2011 crop for Port Charlotte over a tempestuous summer. Each farmer had worked with us before, in Hunter Jackson, Ian Torrance, Ian MacKerrel, Raymond Fletcher, Mark French, Alistair Torrance, Raymond Stewart with father and son team Donald and Andrew Jones. Our community's commitment to Islay is embodied here, where local barley is raised, distilled, matured and bottled only on Islay.
