"Laphroaig Quarter Cask – Quarter Cask is basically the same Scotch as 10 Year but after standard barrel aging it is moved to much smaller casks, which let 30 percent more of the spirit to come in contact with the wood in the barrel. It’s darker than the 10 Year, and heavier in alcohol too, at 96 proof. The flavor is quite different, still full of phenol but incredibly spicy, too. Almost peppery, it balances out the smoke with a taste I can only describe as one of hot coal (which I mean in a good way). It’s not a gentle Scotch, but it’s more complicated than 10 Year, finishing with an interesting citrusy sweetness that makes you keep going back. A- / $55"
- 96 proof = 48.5% ABV? Can get 65% ABV here in Scotland, needs water to taste it properlycomicsans
