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 barrels to absorb subtle vanilla flavors, then transferred to uncharred American oak barrels for secondary maturation. This unique approach gives the whisky a stronger woody structure that forms a perfect contrast with the intense Islay peat, making it ideal for whisky lovers seeking a balanced palate.

Laphroaig distillery is located on the south coast of Islay, Scotland's most famous peat region. Since its founding in 1815, it has dominated with its 'unforgettable' intense medicinal notes, smoke, and sea salt breeze. As one of the few distilleries in Scotland still maintaining traditional floor malting, Laphroaig's dedication to flavor is uncompromising.
QA Cask was originally launched as a travel retail exclusive. Unlike common charred barrels, QA Cask uses uncharred American oak. This allows the natural sugars and tannins in the oak to influence the spirit in a purer way without being masked by carbonized char. The result is a work that retains the distillery's core soul while showcasing soft woody sweetness. This 1000ml large capacity bottling is a cost-effective choice for home collections or sharing with close friends.
