The Laphroaig Quarter Cask is the only Laphroaig that is available in Montreal region. Thanks for the review! Upland, Laphroaig Quarter Cask Islay Single Malt Scotch 750ml, USA: (IL) My main remarks in a review on this very site a few months ago was that the Quarter Cask seemed to have fallen a bit flat, no noticeable changes to the palate, but overall less lively. Latham, Laphroaig - Quarter Cask Single Malt Scotch (750ml), USA: (NJ) Probably in the next few weeks. Liquorice allsorts (blue ones). Each review I've read in the past the present is giving it sky rocketing results. Indeed when I mentioned the 'slap-in-your-face bottlings' I was mainly thinking of the 10yo CS that I find really aggressive and imposing (I love it!). Tarpon Springs, Laphroaig Quarter Cask Double Cask Matured Single Malt Scotch, Port Ellen, Islay, Scotland, USA: (FL) I offered a glass to my father, a whisky novice and he immediately made the connection with Lagavulin. Recommended, especially at that price. cask laphroaig whiskey Honestly, no. The wood is really coming out here in the nose. It still has an incredible smokiness, earthiness, richness and finish. This had been on my list for a while, and at the price, my wife only required me to go through a relatively minor amount of begging ;). Id tried the standard 10 year Laphroaig before but the Quarter Cask was a new one for me, and I am glad I took the plunge and bought it now! Nonetheless, my thoughts: Nose: Crisp sea air, a little sweeter than the 10 perhaps? How has the QC's quality decreased? At least that's a nice story to stick to once your peated whiskies have been strongly oxidized:)). It is hard to find in bars. Which is also known for its smokiness. I've had some bottles that are a bit smokier than others, or a bottles where the dark chocolate notes are more prominent, but I've never had a bad bottle. Cask strength 10 also blends quite well with Glenfarclas 12 year for a charming vatting that visiting company in one's home will often enjoy. Sturbridge, Laphroaig Quarter Cask Single Malt Scotch Whisky, Scotland, Laphroaig Quarter Cask 48% Single Malt (1x70cl), USA: (NY) Regardless, this is a quality whisky no doubt. But not as much as youd expect. This review might be a bit long-winded, so please forgive me. Also, perhaps the cheapest really good peater. Palate: Creamy arrival. 
I figure if I cant get the 10 cask strength, this will do nicely. Unbelievably complex fruity flavors wrapped in gorgeous peat.

This was only my second Islay malt, after the Laphroaig 10 year, and I've found this one to be much richer and more complex than the 10. More shipping infoShipping info, Standard delivery 1-2 weeks There is also a presence of cola and cream soda lurking in the background. When I got my first bottle of Laphroaig QC a year ago, I detected all the iodine and bandaid smells that I hear about. : Nose: The usual medicinal iodine, smoked meats over a hickory fire near the beach at sunset, earthy goodness that Laphroaig likes to show in their whisky. I did add a few drops of water to a 15 cc pour. Clean and intricate. Fruity, pears, apples, fried bacon rind, peaty, salty, vanilla, grapey, winey, still lots of wood but tempered by sweetness. I also caught a Madeira smell, and found a kind of sterile aroma in there somewhere! Lovely balance between the industrial earthy peat and creamy sweetness. More shipping infoShipping info, Free shipping from CHF 200 2 days with VinoLog Swiss Post. FINISH: mineral, iodine, cigar tobacco, beef steak, and pound cake, funnily enough. Truly fantastic! I try to grab a bottle when I can. The others in the room notice the smoke and seem to enjoy it despite being non Whisky drinkers. The only other one I wish I could lay my hands on, is the 10 year Cask Strength. This was an overproof so I put a little water in it. I will be interested to see the new style of this bottle. @Pierre_W, I have one of the early bottles left and I loved the stuff. Nose: a curious mix of industrial and coal smoke, rubber, rich peat, minerals, and saline. Quarter Cask is just incredible and you can't beat it for value. It will sure as hell not disappoint you. Definitely worth having on the shelf for almost any whisky drinker. For me its a beautiful dram for one main reason; it embodies the Laphroaig style. to me, the palate disappoints. That is a 15 point drop in a matter of days. Is the a quality difference between batch 1, 2 or 3? Finish Drying wood smoke and ashes, cinnamon spice, a touch of liquorice root, more dry peat and pepper builds in the centre of tongue, with a possible hint of walnuts and a long bitter oaky finish. 
Tasted from an alternate vantage: the leather is more like toasted walnuts and their skins, and these find themselves in the salty graham crust of a Key lime pie-- with the Key lime elements of sweetness, vanilla/coconut smoothness, and a little prodding sharpness of the rind. Charred wood. At the end it got too bitter. The fruity notes (pear) bring a more balanced whisky and more complex. It's not necessarily better or worse with water, rather it's a different experience. The peat and smoke are both ever present throughout the experience. Very warm all the way down. After that I detected sweet wood spice and hints of coconut. And to Laphroaig for having the balls to go the extra mile and produce this, based upon the smaller casks of years ago. Cough syrup and smoke stack and brown sugar on the nose. That really can put out all the peat and smoke and fire. I find the QC a little too sweet. I applaud the combination of balance and complexity, and I look forward to keeping this around especially for winter evenings. What is your experience with the different batches of the CS? The finish stays with you for eons giving you a warm glow in your chest. 
sweeter, carmel, nutmeg, orange (cooked), balanced fine.. a little water opens Quater Cask to almost smoke apples, burnt sugar and dark chocolate. Great whisky. Glad you're joining in the fun. There are a few distilleries that I like just because theyre THEM. Nose: Lots of that beautifully gentle Laphroaig sweetness. Laphroaig Quarter Cask is my favorite dram above all others. Finish: Lasting finish. Bedlington Malt Whisky Society sampled this bottle on the 28th of November 2012. At a recent tasting amongst friends, I thought this was one of the 'stars' of the night. The smaller casks were easier for two men to load onto a pack horse and transport to wherever it needed to go. The wood influence here is huge, toffee, vanilla and smoked seaweed. It has all the elements of late fall/early winter: warmth, smokiness, and just a touch of sugar. It is 48%, so I added a few drops of water to open it up. Ive come to love the QC and Ive come to love Laphroaig overall. Good to have a second review, but was it that much better earlier? Balance: A very well done whisky. San Diego, Laphroaig Quarter Cask Scotch Whiskey, Scotland, USA: (FL) Taste preferences are highly individual. Great review,absolutely one of my favorite,slainte!!!! This is hands down my favorite Islay. It's a very fluid dram and easily coats your mouth. For some odd reason with cask strength and 18 the balance is just perfect. the peat, and finish - incredible. Its a lot more full and intense than 10yo and my favourite Laphroaig so far. More shipping infoShipping info, All products in stock and ready to ship. A whiff of peppermint, pine resin and vanilla sticks. Water helps the sweet notes out (which arrive first)--some brown sugar and hints of licorice, but this is predominantly a savoury whisky. I was defeated, despite my predilection for the likes of Lagavulin and Longrow. Typically powerful Laphroaig - I can be several feet away and catch peat and smoke notes. Once again I love this whisky, it blew my mind the first time I tried it and everytime I open the bottle my heart skips a beat. The texture is beautifully velvet with a mouthful of vanilla, licorice and smoky dry fruits like nutmeg and cinnamon. Although it's summer when I write this. Being new to 'tasting' as well, did you allow the water and whisky to marry for awhile in the glass or did you notice a difference right away? this is not a whisky for the novice drinker, it is a challenge even for some old noses and once the cork is out there is no going back!!! CS is also an "alcohol free" religion. I have tasted it with notes on six occasions (92, 89, 89, 88, 89, 85). This is a finish with less smoke than any other Laphroaig I've had. I suppose, at least for me, this is a close to a nectar as one can get! However I can absolutely relate to you describing it as 'meaty'. Decent complexity that I'm still discovering. A long and dry oaky finish rounds of one of the best 30 seconds malting experiences of my malting career. Pale orange. The Quarter Cask is a stroke of Laphroigian genius! More shipping infoShipping info, Cant ship spirits outside Massachusetts. I won't jump on the 'overproof' bandwagon; however, I did chuckle at the comment from @bigmoose. I have a closed bottle of the 18y, but I'm not planning on opening it soon. I think this is so much better than the 10 year old, it has a sweet taste together with the peat. Finish: A long finish containing cigar smoke, earthy peat and a large amount pepper draws this Laphroaig bottle to a close. Sweet. Theres also a bit of creaminess, like buttercream, an orange zestiness, reminding me of a bourbon-orange bread pudding one of my friends used to make. I challenge you not to dream of the rugged coast of Islay. I never had a 10 yo CS, but I do prefer the Quarter Cask to the regular 10 yo because of this balance with the vanilla.

Its flavours are a bit on the darker side of the spectrum, so if you like bright, citrusy-type flavours, this isn't the droid you're looking for. So if I enjoy the Talisker I'll hop on-board and take the plunge with this Islay gem. I'll spare you all another rant about honesty and transparency. A little water brings it down. Nose: Seaside campfire, smoked gouda, and PEAT. Finish: Huge blast of peat with almost no warning. @OdysseusUnbound You nailed it. A great experience for the senses. I have divided the notes into two sections - with and without water. Taste: Apples, aniseed, sweet smoke. This is a very herbal nose but if you're patient without rushing it you'll end up getting hints of bittersweet dark chocolate with a tease of vanilla. Intense, chewy. )than other Islays I've had, and the taste featured that unmistakeable peat with a sweet finish. More salty sea air, and a surprisingly dry finish. Taste (with water): fresh green wood, cinnamon, light citrus, touch of light syrup, smooth arrival, beautiful finish (long and flavourful), fresh polish, seawater, ocean breeze, young grasses. 
There is a floral note as well coming through on the nose; but mostly peat! Rich, with a good balance of sweetness and saltiness throughout. @Fairbairn, thanks for an enjoyable review. Newport, Laphroaig Quarter Cask Single Malt Scotch Whisky 750ml, United Kingdom, Scotland, Islay, USA: (CA) For me it is a mood whisky, warm and relaxing - regardless of what I shot on the golf course.
