Laphroaig Select stands as a testament to the distillery's ability to combine tradition with innovation. This unique whiskey is the result of a careful selection process where the finest casks from the distillery's extensive stock have been handpicked to create a unique blend.
This whiskey offers an entry into the world of Laphroaig, with a more accessible and rounded profile compared to the distillery's more intense expression. Select offers a slightly smoky character that is characteristic of Laphroaig, but with a softer and more nuanced approach. Notes of peat combine beautifully with a subtle sweetness and hint of spice, creating a harmonious and inviting taste experience.
Laphroaig Select has matured in a unique combination of Oloroso sherry casks, new American oak casks, Pedro Ximenez sherry casks and the traditional quarter casks. This variety of casks adds an extra depth and complexity to the whiskey while keeping it light and fresh.
Reflecting Laphroaig's signature style with a modern twist, the bottle makes a perfect gift for both new single malt whiskey explorers and dedicated Laphroaig fans. Enjoy Laphroaig Select neat, on the rocks or as a delicate addition to your favorite cocktail.
