Nose: Rich and weighty with heady and smoky aromatics. At full strength, the initial aroma is a beguiling mix of warm Christmas cake, walnut oil and parma violets fused with fresh ocean spice, cedar and pine needles falling from the Christmas tree. A smouldering coal fire and the scent of well-oiled leather brings warmth. The sweetness of treacle toffees and chocolate-coated raisins emerge through the smoke. With water, the deep smokiness increases in intensity, reminiscent of a fired Christmas pudding. Rich flowering currants and warm baked banana and walnut bread are served with simmering mocha espresso.
Palate: Full flavoured and rich with a deep mouth-coating texture, the taste is an intriguing balance between sweet, spicy and deep smoky flavours. The flavour is initially sweet. A burst of winter spices sets off a smoky-spicy explosion countered by a sumptuous mid-palate of honey glazed smoked food and chewy treacle. Waves of deep smoky tones and rich aromas build up on the palate like a fine Montecristo cigar.
Finish: Amazingly long and chewy with lingering raisiny, deep mocha tones and rich aromatic smoke into the perfectly integrated finish.

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.
