True peat!

guest, Sep 9, 2018

Too Smokey for me.

Kirsten, Aug 17, 2018

Smell is full of smoke and peat, the smell is like a damp mossy forest with a babbling brook. Taste is sweet with spice and slight vanilla. after taste is long smoke with even longer spice. Mixed it with a splash of water did not care for the taste after that... enjoy this one neat only in my opinion! Worth the money all day I will reorder and keep this one stocked!

Chris, Jul 26, 2018

Like drinking peat. With your granddad.

Marc, Jul 18, 2018

Naice peat nose. Smoky taste with a nice long and dry finish

Bradley, Jul 1, 2018

A wonderful, peaty scotch

Tyler, Jun 25, 2018

Very rich flavor with a lot of peet

guest, Jun 16, 2018

Very spice forward and lasting. Incredible nose. For people who really love their Islays

Dennis, Jun 10, 2018

If you are drinking this, you already have a taste for smokey and peaty whisky. From that context, this is a wonderful glass. I enjoyed the initial taste of smoked, slightly burnt, pork ribs that transitioned to a nice spicy oak finish. One of my favorites in this price point.

Danton, May 22, 2018

Wonderful flavor! A campfire is always a memory away with this one!

Sam, May 13, 2018

Nasty kick to it

Neil, Apr 26, 2018

Very, very strong but in a great way. Extremely smokey and a good kick.

Mike, Apr 4, 2018

Next up from select / 10 year old and definitely bolder and after taste left much stronger. I like it!!

Gabriel, Mar 22, 2018

Definitely unique compared to the standard 10 Year, and only slightly less smooth than Lagavulin (my personal favorite). I have all kinds of love for Islay Scotch and will absolutely be savoring this one with my English blend pipe tobaccos for a smoky, peaky, fire-y, oaky heaven-like experience.

Christine, Mar 14, 2018

Rich and deep. Compared to Laphroaig 10, the aroma is lighter and sweeter with a bit of sea spray, and the flavor has more oak than peat. Very enjoyable.

Thomas, Mar 9, 2018

Smokey goodness with a hint of the sea.

Kyle, Feb 27, 2018

Smokey peaty lovelyness. Reminds me of the lox on my bagels

Piotr, Feb 26, 2018

Sweeter than Laphroaig 10. Less smokey. More oak. Delicate version of 10 with more alcohol... maybe I like it better... oh and some water opens it so it is even better. Yeah it wins with 10yo.

guest, Feb 13, 2018

Very smokey, warm and rich. Also excellent when feeling under the weather.

Mark, Feb 1, 2018

A bit of an anise liquorice flavor, but the scent is to die for. So wonderfully smokey.

Travis, Jan 26, 2018

Too smoky for my taste

Danny, Jan 20, 2018

Very good Islay. Lighter bodied/not as intense as others I’ve tried from this region but overall a decent scotch. Wish it was more complex.

Michael, Jan 17, 2018

So far I think this is my favorite scotch!!!!

CJ, Dec 28, 2017

Solid tasting with a bite.

Nick, Dec 28, 2017

Smoky and smooth in one. I’m used to drinking Lagavulin or The Macallan but this is a different taste entirely

Joshua, Dec 26, 2017

Strong, peaty, well-balanced

guest, Nov 28, 2017

The best. Very peaty. Lots of wood. Medicinal.

Mary, Nov 20, 2017

very smoky, heavy peat. very complex flavors, with a long finish. Love this one!

guest, Nov 13, 2017

A wonderful complex smokey flavour

Matej, Oct 28, 2017

Very smoky

Stephen, Sep 19, 2017

The smoke and peat will punch you in the throat, and that's a good thing! Absolutely loved my first dram, and first experience, of Laphroaig.

Ty, Aug 14, 2017

Far better than the Laphroaig 10, and maybe $10 more. Considering the Quarter Cask is 5% more ABV, and non-chill filtered, it's a no-brainer. Much better quality, and much more nuance for little more money than the 10. A great bargain, as is the 10 Cask Strength.

James, Aug 2, 2017

I love peaty scotch and this fits that notch. If you like your drams smokey, peaty, with lots of finish this is for you. As and added bonus Laphroaig gives you the honorary ownership of 1 square foot of the land that produces this awesome drink.

Jeremy, Jul 27, 2017

Smokey with a light sweetness

Benjamin, Jul 17, 2017

Must add a couple drops of water

guest, Jul 12, 2017

Smokey, nice nose

Drew, Jul 9, 2017

Love this peaty scotch

Stephen, Jul 4, 2017

I thought it was a lovely smooth drink with lovely peaty after taste.

guest, Jun 17, 2017

Mike, May 26, 2017

If you don't like scotch or peated bourbon you will hate this. If you love the smokey taste like me you are in for a treat. Upon opening the bottle the smell of peat and smoke fills the room. It's like you have been smoking some meat all day and that beautiful smell is lingering and you never want it to cease. When it hits your tongue you get the taste of smoke, peat, and a nutty toffee flavor. The smoke almost over powers everything but you can still get the hints of toffee. You can definitely taste oak after the initial smoke and there is a sweetness to it that I can't put my finger on but lasts throughout. Take a second and third sip the smoke isn't as overpowering and you can get more of the toffee tatse. It leaves you with a smokey after tatse that you wish would stay forever. Great scotch!

guest, May 22, 2017

I just love Laphroaig,but this one is superior. Islay whisky at its best

christopher, Apr 22, 2017

I am not a fan of the regular Laphroaig, but the Quarter Cask is great. All the Islay character, but a bit more mellow and smooth. I would recommend this to anyone who prefers Highland Scotch that is interested in exploring Islay.

David, Feb 27, 2017

This is one of my favorite Islays. Distinct smoky and peaty flavor.

Eric, Jan 23, 2017

Laphroaig Quarter Cask is one of my favorite single malts. I prefer smoky/peaty/spicy whiskys and this one has an added bonus of being a stronger alcohol than most.

Nicholas, Jan 1, 2017

Bout as close to a perfect 10 as I have experienced for an Islay - this is a full bore islay NOT for the faint of heart or "new" scotch drinker

Aaron, Nov 3, 2016

This bottle has been my GO TO when I am in the mood for an Islay with some smooth flavor. The combination of using a Quarter Cask with an Islay means that you get the classic task of an Islay with the flavor of a more mature aging.

Link, Nov 2, 2016

Nose: Smoky, a little bit pure alcohol Palate: Caramel / Wood Finish: Medium-low strong, smoky

Davidson, Nov 1, 2016

Rich and smoky, almost a meaty flavor to it, smacking of bacon and capers.

Karlo, Oct 28, 2016

Smoky and peat at first, after few minutes sweat and smooth love the combination! Finish long and sweet with touch of smoke. This NAS is much better then 10 year old in my opinion.

John, Oct 19, 2016

Smoky and intense in the best way

KC, Oct 9, 2016

Very nice. Complex. Definitely needs a little water. Stiff, bold and strong.

Chris, Oct 3, 2016

BAM! You almost get knocked out with the smoke and peat, but you get used to it, and start tasting other parts of it. Well worth the price.

guest, Sep 24, 2016

Very oily, smoky and sweet, and kind of hot - not exactly spicy. Love it.

guest, Sep 24, 2016

Taste better with a little bit water

guest, Sep 10, 2016

You can tell it's a Laphroaig product, but lacks the character of the 10 year.

Robert, Aug 30, 2016

Lovely, challenging Islay with great depth of smoke and peat.

Marc, Aug 2, 2016

Good

guest, Jul 9, 2016

Smokey and a wonderful peatiness. Enjoy with a nice block of cheese or chocolate.

Dan, Jun 6, 2016

Peaty, oak woody

devon, Jun 6, 2016

reminiscent of the smells and tastes of chemicals used to clean chicken houses back in the day.

guest, May 23, 2016

Favorite Laphroaig so far! Smoky, sweet, and oaky. Great combination.

Gregory, May 1, 2016

Has a band aid taste but very smooth!

Armando, Apr 24, 2016

Really, really long finish. Definitely pick up nose of banana and cinnamon and smoky and peppery to the palette

Cheyne, Apr 16, 2016

A wonderfully peaty dram, my first favorite of the Laphroaig profile. Going off memory, I remember it being a sherried yet woodsy dram. Quite full and rich yet not as overpowering as the cask strength 10 year old. A bit young, but the peat is stronger at more youthful expressions. A top notch whisky.

guest, Apr 15, 2016

Bloody awesome!!

Mike, Apr 2, 2016

Not my favorite Laphroig, but a solid and tasty dram none the less. Recommend if you don't want to go for the triple wood.

Christopher, Mar 28, 2016

Strong choice. I've been told this tastes 'medicinal'. Not sure I understand this but regardless, it's peated and excellent.

guest, Mar 26, 2016

Epic!

Paul, Mar 19, 2016

Delicious

Barrett, Mar 9, 2016

Extremely smooth and drinkable.

Pete, Mar 7, 2016

Sweet start, strong finish.

guest, Mar 5, 2016

It's yummy

John, Feb 16, 2016

Nice, but a bit smokey for me.

Zbigniew, Feb 6, 2016

Nice smokey nose but for me to strong of a flavor

Rolf, Jan 31, 2016

Strong Stockholm tar reminder

Charles, Jan 19, 2016

Very strong peat combined with the richness of the wood flavor

guest, Jan 13, 2016

Laphroaig Quater Cast is aged approx. 8 years. IMO it tastes far better than Laphroaig 10 Years Old. It's peaty and smokey with hints of sweetness and oak. For 48% vol. it's suprisingly mild.

Cory, Jan 10, 2016

Delicious, like a crunchy piece of oak.

guest, Dec 7, 2015

I think the world of this one

Rick, Dec 1, 2015

I'm a vulin fan when it comes to peats, just wish it was smoother...

guest, Oct 19, 2015

A great islay whisky!

guest, Sep 26, 2015

Rauchig phenolisch charaktervoll

Peter, Sep 18, 2015

Salty, smoke for days, peaty nose. Tobacco, medicine like, slight mouth coating.

guest, Aug 10, 2015

Great but a bit too sweet and mellow

guest, Aug 5, 2015

If you like peat, brine, and smoke. Then this is the malt for you.

guest, Jul 26, 2015

Seriously smokey!!!

guest, Jul 24, 2015

The full complement of genius in an Islay malt -- oaked and salted peat smoke with a little cereal grain and vanilla that add to the layers. An easy go-to every time!
