Laphroaig 普款推介

Quarter cask指細size既桶(around 45-50L), 酒同桶既接觸會比其他桶多, 令酒係桶入面熟成既速度加快, 就算年輕既酒都有一定既複雜度
For reference, 正常barrel約200L, 一個Butt大約475-500L

網上品評參考:
NOSE
Powerful smoke, sweet malt, wet turf, coal. Develops chocolate & cinnamon.

PALATE
Full-bodied, rich and mouth-coating. Delicious sweet gristy malt and rich peat, woodsmoke. The coal appears mid-palate.

FINISH
Very long, sweet and smoky, with the coal lingering longest.

COMMENT
A belter. Denser and deeper than the 10 yr-old. Very more-ish.
