Laphroaig Select: The Peated Single Malt Scotch Whisky with an American Oak Finish

Laphroaig Select (Oak Select) Single Malt Scotch Whisky is an accessible yet rich expression of the celebrated Islay distillery, intertwining peaty character with deep aromatic complexity. Each component has been hand-selected by the Master Distiller to tell the story of Laphroaig whisky, from its iconic peated whiskies to the richness brought by the different types of casks.

✅ Origin and Aging

• It is a blend of single malts from different casks: Oloroso sherry butts, Pedro Ximénez hogsheads, and Ex-Bourbon.

• Finished in new American oak (virgin oak) barrels, adding structure and woody notes.

✅ Detailed tasting notes

• Color: Bright gold with layered tones.

• Nose: Decisive peat smoke, followed by ripe red fruits.
