Laphroaig's Single Malt Quarter Casks offer an irresistible dual flavour thanks to the double maturation in American oak casks.
The whisky, which is still maturing, is transferred from standard ex-bourbon casks to quarter casks, allowing the maturing distillate 30% more contact with the wood.

Distillates have different alcoholpercentages. So, we have defined a parameter allowing you to better understand and compare different prices. This parameter is calculated by dividing the bottle price by the alcohol content. The alcohol content (or strength) is the amount of pure alcohol (ethanol) contained in the distillate.
This parameter indicates the price of a single 4cl dosage of distillate. It is calculated by dividing the price of the bottle by its quantity (expressed in cl), then multiplying by the centilitres of the recommended single dose, as average in cocktail recipes.
