The Lagavulin 16 Year Old has become a benchmark Islay dram from the Lagavulin distillery. A gift for all occasions for lovers of peaty and powerful whiskies.

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.
