Interesting to hear that the Laphroaig Quarter Cask was only released in 2004 and it is now the No.4 best selling Islay malt today and with good reason IMO.
I wish other distilleries such as Lagavulin would do a young higher strength no age statement whisky at a decent price like the Laphroaig QC |

Unfortunately Lagavulin/Diageo would rather charge big money for less sales i think. All the same it would be great to see a young NAS Lagavulin. The Lagavulin 12 special release is great but limited availablity, a great dram but price is high and still creeping up.
As this is a Laphroaig thread, i would say personally i would love to see an affordable Laphroaig with a decent sherry finish in the core range as Laphroaig does turn out well in a sherry cask IMO and an affordable bottle added to there core range could only be a winner IMO, just look at the popularity of the other big peaty sherried whiskies like Ardbeg Uigeadail and Lagavulin Distillers Edition, an affordable sherry finish Laphroaig could blow these 2 away. |
