Product Details
The name Laphroaig QA Cask is derived from the Latin 'Quercus Alba', meaning American White Oak. This spirit is first matured in bourbon casks to absorb subtle vanilla notes, then transferred to uncharred American oak barrels for a second maturation. This unique process imparts a stronger woody structure that provides a perfect contrast to Islay's intense peat, making it ideal for whisky lovers seeking a balanced profile.

Laphroaig distillery, located on the south coast of Islay, Scotland's most famous peat region, has been renowned since 1815 for its unforgettable medicinal notes, smoke, and sea salt character. As one of the few distilleries still practicing traditional floor malting, Laphroaig maintains an uncompromising commitment to flavor.
QA Cask was originally launched as a travel retail exclusive. Unlike common charred barrels, it uses uncharred American oak. This allows the natural sugars and tannins of the wood to influence the spirit in its purest form without being masked by carbonization. This 1000ml bottle offers excellent value, whether for a home collection or sharing with friends.
