Laphroaig Select Single Islay Malt Whisky 70 cl 40%

Laphroaig Oak Select Single Islay Malt Whisky 70 cl 40% is an elegant and approachable expression from the iconic Islay distillery. Crafted through maturation in a combination of different cask types, it delivers a unique balance between the distillery’s signature peaty smoke and softer, rounded notes.

The whisky has been matured in Oloroso sherry butts, American white oak – including virgin oak – hogsheads seasoned with Pedro Ximénez, quarter casks, and first-fill bourbon barrels. This diverse maturation process adds both depth and complexity, while smoothing out the powerful smoky character with touches of sweetness and spice.

On the nose, it offers pronounced peat smoke, sea salt, and citrus, complemented by vanilla and subtle sherry tones. The palate is full-bodied and well-balanced, with layers of smoke, spice, sweet vanilla, and dried fruit. The finish is softer than many classic Laphroaig releases, yet still long and distinctive.

With its combination of strength and elegance, Laphroaig Oak Select is an excellent choice for seasoned Islay enthusiasts as well as those looking to explore the world of peated whisky in a more harmonious style.
