Laphroaig Oak Select 70cl, 40%

Description

Laphroaig Oak Select 70cl, 40% is a smoky Islay single malt from Laphroaig Distillery, created to offer a more approachable but still clearly recognisable expression of the distillery’s famous peated style. It combines classic Laphroaig smoke with sweeter oak influence, making it a softer introduction to the brand while keeping the coastal and medicinal character that Laphroaig is known for.

This release is made from whisky selected from different cask styles, including Oloroso sherry butts, Pedro Ximénez sherry hogsheads, ex-bourbon casks and new American oak. The result is a balanced profile with peat smoke, ripe red fruit, vanilla, honey, seaweed, ash and soft spice.

At 40%, Oak Select is gentler than many higher-strength Laphroaig expressions, but it still carries enough smoke and coastal depth to satisfy fans of Islay whisky. The original white and gold presentation box gives the bottle a clean, elegant look and makes it suitable for gifting as well as everyday drinking.
