Laphroaig Select 70cl, 40%

Description

Laphroaig Select 70cl, 40% is a smoky Islay single malt from Laphroaig Distillery, created to show a softer and more approachable side of the famous Laphroaig character. It keeps the distillery’s unmistakable peat smoke, coastal seaweed and medicinal edge, while adding a smoother layer of sweetness, oak and fruit.

This release is made from single malts selected from different cask styles, including Oloroso sherry butts, first-fill ex-bourbon quarter casks and Pedro Ximénez sherry hogsheads, before being finished in virgin American oak barrels. The result is a balanced Laphroaig with smoke, red fruit, vanilla, honey, ash, seaweed, lime and gentle floral notes.

At 40%, Laphroaig Select is easier-going than many higher-strength Islay malts, making it a strong choice for customers who want the Laphroaig experience in a smoother style. Presented with its original tube, it is also suitable for gifting, home bars and collectors looking for a complete official Laphroaig bottling.
