The Laphroaig Experience
Laphroaig Quarter Cask: Known as one of Scotland's most intensely flavored whiskies, Laphroaig brings its signature medicinal peat, sea spray, and smoke to our gelato. The Quarter Cask expression is aged in smaller casks for increased wood contact, creating deeper, more complex flavors.
Why Laphroaig?: We tested 15 different peated whiskies before choosing Laphroaig Quarter Cask. Its bold character stands up to freezing while the nama chocolate provides the perfect sweet counterpoint to the smoke.
The Peat Factor: Don't worry – while distinctive, the peat smoke is balanced by the chocolate. Think of it as a campfire s'more for adults.
In our gelato, these bold flavors are beautifully balanced by the creamy base, creating complexity without overwhelming.
Nama Chocolate Perfection
Japanese nama chocolate (literally "fresh chocolate") contains 40% cocoa and fresh cream, creating an impossibly silky texture. This premium chocolate doesn't fight the whisky – it embraces it, creating a haunting balance that whisky lovers dream about.
