Weird Sainsbury's Laphroaig Offer

According to peatfreak.com it's 5-6 years old. The point with small casks - QC's - is of course to give more cask surface in propotion to the whisky volume, in order to enhance the cask effect. You could say it sort of speeds up maturation in some ways, (but not in all!).

Don't need to suspect that. In Germany, you'll rarely find a whisky marked with an age of less than ten years because experience has told that these don't sell too well. So in these cases to age is given.
