Laphroaig Quarter Cask is a single malt from the Laphroaig distillery, founded in 1815 by the brothers Donald and Alexander Johnston on the island of Islay, Scotland. Launched in 2004, it revives the quarter casks, small casks that were once carried on horseback. The distillery now belongs to Suntory Global Spirits.

The spirit first matures in ex-bourbon barrels and then moves into American oak quarter casks, which increase the whisky's contact with the wood. It has no age statement and is bottled at 48%, non-chill-filtered. The producer suggests drinking it neat, with a few drops of water or over ice.
