This expression offers an irresistible doublingof flavour due to the double maturation intwo casks made of American oak.

Still-maturing whisky from our standard ex-bourbonbarrels is transferred to quarter casksand left to rest in our warehouse just a stone’sthrow from the Atlantic shore.

This process represents Laphroaig breathingnew life into a once-defunct tradition: theuse of the smaller cask size, which ensuresincreased contact with the oak, creating a softand velvety edge to complement Laphroaig’sdistinctive peatiness.

On the nose the sensation is toffee andcaramel, caused by the vanillas and tannins ofthe American oak, plus a dryness from thewood oil.

The finish is long and alternates between thissweetness and smoke.
