Laphroaig QA Cask
12 November 2013
An amazing fusion of flavours. The first maturation is in ex bourbon barrels, followed by transfer to charred American white oak casks (quercus alba in Latin).
This second intense maturation creates a blend of peat smoke balanced with warm, spicy vanilla notes.
The length of time this powerful stage takes varies, meaning each cask is carefully selected by hand to ensure the exact balance of flavours.
This was originally (and still is) a Travel Retail exclusive, it’s also a 1 Litre bottling.
Distilled at Laphroaig Distillery

This was exclusively only available in Travel Retail, Laphroaig An Cuan Mor – Translated as ‘Big Ocean’
