Laphroaig Quarter Cask Single Malt Scotch Whisky 70cl (Canned)

Laphroaig, is a Gaelic term meaning "the beautiful hollow over the wide valley", or rather Islay, the motherland of peaty Scotch whisky, whose velvety smoky sensation contributes to making it truly unique. The distillery was founded in 1815 and despite its centuries-long history and multiple changes of ownership, the Laphroaigh distillery has never abandoned the production system desired by tradition. In fact, it is one of the few Scottish distilleries that produces part of its own malted barley on the floor and is the only one that still extracts the peat by hand, without "squeezing" it with the use of machinery, but preserving it with all its precious vegetable oils. Water also plays a leading role: rainwater filters through layers of peat until it finds the hard rock before flowing out. This natural process makes it a unique and essential ingredient. As far as distillation is concerned, the plant has a battery of no less than seven stills, three wash stills for the first distillation, and four spirit stills for the second. This forces the distillery manager to put the newly obtained distillate into a blending tank to keep its character constant. Former bourbon casks, Maker's Mark and Jim Beam, and Quarter Cask are used for ageing. Once the cask ageing is complete, the product is brought to the optimum strength for bottling.
