Laphroaig Oak Select (70cl, 40%)
For the Laphroaig Oak Select, the Islay distillery has taken whisky from a number of different types of cask, including oloroso sherry butts, white American oak, Pedro Ximenez seasoned hoggies, quarter casks, and first-fill bourbon casks. Quite a selection, wouldn’t you say? A laid-back addition to the Laphroaig core range of single malts.
Laphroaig PX Cask Triple Matured Edition 2023 (1L, 48%)
Laphroaig Quarter Cask (70cl, 48%)
This expression offers an irresistible doubling of flavour due to the double maturation in two casks made of American oak.
Still-maturing whisky from our standard ex-bourbon barrels is transferred to quarter casks and left to rest in our warehouse just a stone throw from the Atlantic shore.
This process represents Laphroaig breathing new life into a once-defunct tradition: the use of the smaller cask size, which ensures increased contact with the oak, creating a soft and velvety edge to complement Laphroaig distinctive peatiness.
On the nose the sensation is toffee and caramel, caused by the vanillas and tannins of the American oak, plus a dryness from the wood oil.
The finish is long and alternates between this sweetness and smoke.
Laphroaig Select (70cl, 40%)
This Laphroaig is created from carefully selected casks of each of our key styles. Mostly, these are historic styles, with one notable addition: the heart of the spirit is drawn from a final maturation in American oak casks rarely used for scotch whisky.
With spirit selected by our master distiller from Quarter Cask, our PX Cask and Triple Wood (Oloroso sherry) and a final addition of 10 Year Old, it represents a subtle blending of peat, oak and sweetness.
Bottled at natural colour, the result is an exquisite Laphroaig with our trademark peat reek matched by an additional layer of complexity and depth brought about by the fusion of the maturation styles and different oaks.
Laphroaig The 1815 No Box 70cl, 48%
Notice this bottle it is without original box.
A single malt created by distillery manager, John Campbell, to honour the master craftsmen who have shaped Laphroaig over the past two centuries. This single malt was first left to rest in first-fill, over-charred ex-bourbon barrels, before being transferred to large, new European oak hogsheads – which have never been used by Laphroaig until now.
The 1815 combines notes of peat smoke, toasted fruits and oiled wood.
Octomore 10 Year Old Oloroso Cask Finish Darkness (50cl, 47.8%)
A 10-year-old Octomore – the beloved peated single malt from Islay’s Bruichladdich distillery. This one finished its maturation with a stay in an oloroso sherry octave, custom-made for the folks at indie bottler Darkness. An intriguing combo of sweet baked goods, salted nuts and coastal smoke make this a superbly complex sipper.

This is bottled at 57.1% ABV – which is 100° Proof in a traditional system of alcohol content measurement (different from 100 proof, which you’re much more likely to see on American bottlings).
