Laphroaig 25 Year Old is the pinnacle of this legendary Islay distillery’s craft, blending intensity with exceptional refinement.

This rare and highly sought-after release offers an experience that is both powerful and elegant.

The result is a whisky that retains the unmistakable DNA of Laphroaig while delivering an extraordinary level of complexity and refinement.

Laphroaig Quarter Cask is twice aged to amplify deep peat and add a surprising sweetness. Contact with the wood of smaller quarter-sized casks makes it our most lively expression.
Bigger barrels don’t mean better flavour. The proof is Laphroaig Quarter Cask, inspired by the old tradition of transporting whisky on packhorses. Fortunately for said horses, it was stored in smaller quarter casks that carry flavour into your dram today. Their reduced size means the spirit has more contact with the wood, amplifying the natural flavours of whisky first matured in ex-Bourbon barrels.
This quarter cask whisky is barrier filtered to retain all the character developed in our small but mighty barrels. Enjoy a soft and velvety single malt full of unexpected vivid notes, bigger flavour and aroma.
