Laphroaig Oak Select Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky 700mL

Our most approachable whisky. A blend of single malts hand-selected from five different casks, creating a mellow Scotch with balanced and complex flavour.

Blend of whiskies aged in Oloroso sherry butts, Pedro Ximenez hogsheads and ex-Bourbon casks, finished in new American oak barrel.

It’s only fitting that the perfect introduction to peated whisky draws from a broad range of casks in our storehouse. Sweet and smooth, Laphroaig Select tells our two hundred year history of passionate distilling in every dram. To create the Laphroaig Select blend, our Master Distiller hand-selected whiskies aged in Oloroso sherry butts, first-fill ex-Bourbon quarter casks and Pedro Ximenez sherry hogsheads at different levels of maturation. Finished in virgin American oak barrels – a rare wood source for Scotch whisky. Our most laid-back expression lets our signature flavours of medicinal peat smoke and seaweed shine, leaving plenty of room for notes of red fruit, lime and a floral finish.

Nose: Forward peat smoke followed quickly by ripe red fruits.

Palate: Sweet at first, followed by peat smoke and dashes of ash and seaweed.
