Uisge Beatha Whisky prices compared

Laphroaig whisky

Laphroaig is an Islay single malt made on the island’s south coast, with heavily peated whisky as its house style. Compare current offers on Quarter Cask, 10 Year Old Sherry Oak Finish and Lore, alongside older official and independent bottlings.

Peat tags here are derived from the producer rather than stated on each label. Some of Laphroaig’s own floor-malted barley is peated to around 45–50 ppm, but that figure does not describe every bottle. Older releases can vary considerably in price between shops, so match the age, edition, size and strength before comparing.

Questions

How much is a bottle of Laphroaig?
There is no single Laphroaig price: age, edition and bottle size all matter. Core bottles such as Quarter Cask generally sit below aged releases. Check the live offers above for current prices and delivery totals. The standard 10 Year Old only appears when we find an in-stock offer; the 10 Year Old Sherry Oak Finish is a different bottling.
Is Laphroaig peated?
Yes. Peat is Laphroaig’s house style, and our peat tags are derived from the producer rather than stated on each label. Part of its malt is still dried at its own floor maltings, at around 45–50 ppm. That figure does not apply to every bottle, while a cask finish can change the flavour without changing the peated spirit.
What is the difference between Laphroaig 10 and Quarter Cask?
Laphroaig says Quarter Cask is matured in ex-bourbon barrels before a finish in smaller quarter casks. The standard 10 Year Old carries an age statement, meaning the youngest whisky in it is 10 years old; Quarter Cask has no age statement. Both sit within Laphroaig’s usually peated house style, but their cask and age details differ.
