Laphroaig Quarter Cask

Hey guys! How’s it going? 🙂.

First week of social distancing. It’s hard. But it’s good while we have our health.

For the first weekend with this nasty situation, I’m trying to ease the pain with some classic Islay 😄🥃.

This time I went for the Quarter Cask from Laphroaig 👍🏻🥃.

The Laphroaig Quarter Cask range benefits from a primary aging in traditional American oak barrels, previously used for bourbon and a final aging, made in small barrels. It is a technique used by producers to ensure a contact with wood up to 60% higher than in the case of a large barrel, thus emphasizing and intensifying the maturing process. The double maturing outlines a complex character and an intense and expressive aromatic profile, where the warm woody aromas delicately highlight the specific peat notes.

Here is my review:.

Nose: Seductive notes of smoke and tropical fruits, especially bananas and coconut, wrapped in hay and black grass accents.

Palate: A classic mix of sweet aromas and smoky notes, which fits very well with the silky texture of the expression.

Finish: Long, spicy, with hints of smoke.

Color: Amber gold.

So what do you guys think about this one? It’s very aromatic and peaty. Peat heads rejoice! 😄.

How are you spending this antisocial weekend? 😄 I’m sure some Quarter Cask Laphroaig would make passing the time easier 😉🥃.

Cheers guys and have a good weekend! Stay safe! 🥃

Andrei Muresan

My name is Andrei, Andrei-Paul Muresan. I’m an IT professional, born in the wonderful year of 1982, in the heart of Transylvania (for people who don’t know, the heart of Transylvania is a city called Cluj-Napoca, located in Eastern Europe, in Romania to be more exact). Here’s a photo of me, just to put a face to the name 😉 I mentioned Transylvania because most people are more likely to know where Transylvania is and not where Romania is 🙂 oh and by the way, vampires, they’re just ghost stories, sorry to disappoint everybody. As you might expect, given my profession, I’m passionate about technology and everything that surrounds it, but I am also a great spirits fan, and when I say spirits I mean scotch, whisk(e)y and cognac, and I also enjoy a good cigar (I never say no to a good cigar). I like to mix all that with a good tune and also a good game, I own a couple of game consoles. I am, by no means, an expert in the scotch/whisk(e)y/cognac/cigar world, but I am keen on learning everything there is to know about it, so I’m launching an invitation to you, to join me in this virtual journey as we learn together.
