Help needed - Laphroaig

Peter, to me the Quarter Cask is just a shade smoother and sweeter, with an additional flavor-element that reminds me of a freshly-sawn pine board overlaid on the normal Laphroaig C/S profile.

Subject: Help needed - Laphroaig


When family members come to NZ via Auckland airport I usually get them to
bring me in a couple of 1L malts from the inbound Duty Free stores. Usually
I ask for Ardbeg 10y and Laphroaig cask strength as being the best buys
there. When I saw my wife off on a trip last Friday I noted there was a
Laphroaig Quarter Cask bottling I haven't seen before. I like the Laphroaig
Cask Strength (which I notice has dropped from ~57.3% to ~55.5%) and the
Quarter Cask is only 48% (though a few$ cheaper), but I'm tempted.

Can anyone offer a flavour comparison between these two?
