The quarter cask is actually my favorite Laphroaig. It still carries enough peatiness to be a Laphroaig but it has an extra hidden layer of fruity sweetness hidden deep within that I just love, even more than the 10

The Laphroaig 10 used to be pretty good too some 5-10 years back. Now its a little on the sweet side with the peaty flavour feeling less like your mouth and sinuses being invaded by an angry smouldering block of wood and ash. I know a lot of people that couldnt stomach the amount of peat and the smell that, that particular whisky had but I loved it because that was its unique character

The obvious right way to go is call it "Ye Olde Cashgrab" bourbon.

Massive fan of the Quarter cask. Its such a shame we only get the 40% version of Laphroaig 10 over here in the UK. Personally I find the sweetness of the 10 a little artificial somehow where the QC just gives a blast of sweet caramel just after you swallow. Love love love Laphroaig and very interested to try their new sherry cask.
@michaelb17613 жыл бұрын
Poured myself a taste to enjoy while watching this review. I'm unable to pull all the flavors out of it like you guys, but it is definitely softer than 10 with more wood influence. I enjoy the bigger flavors of the 10, and it costs less.

I bought myself a 10 as my first islay/heavy smoke whiskey. The smell was pervasive, it lingered in the room for hours. I felt like I was at a bbq restaurant or smth. The taste was only smoke. Only smoke. My friend said he thought the 10 it was underaged, but I don't have much to compare to. 1,5 years later, I don't know if it has mellowed in the bottle or if I've gotten used to it. But it's much more pleasant. Very smokey nose still, but with a hint of sea-breeze, and some other very faint scents. Maybe the bottle has lost potency, but I sure like it better now.
