Laphroaig Quarter Cask first matured in classic ex-bourbon casks and was then matured in small quarter casks without the influence of sherry. This special maturation gives the Laphroaig an impressive interplay of smoky notes and intense oak. Quarter casks are casks that were used in the 19th century and were often transported by packhorse. Due to their smaller volume, the whisky in these casks has around 60 percent more contact surface with the wood than in today’s standard casks, which intensifies the aromas. This Laphroaig spent part of its maturation in quarter cask oak.
