Laphroaig SELECT Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky is the most accessible expression from the historic Laphroaig Distillery and was specifically designed as a harmonious introduction to the world of peated Islay single malts. This expression is created by blending selected single malts from five different cask types, resulting in a smooth, yet balanced and complex Scotch whisky. The layered appearance, with warm golden hues, reflects the diversity of the cask maturations and underlines the careful blending approach taken with this edition. Bottled at 40 per cent, the Laphroaig SELECT is rounded, clearly structured and true to the brand’s character, without being overpowering.


The maturation process includes whiskies from Oloroso sherry casks, Pedro Ximénez sherry hogsheads, ex-bourbon casks and first-fill ex-quarter casks, and is finished in new American oak casks (virgin oak), a rare source of wood for Scotch whisky. This broad range of casks gives Laphroaig SELECT its balance of peaty smoke and seaweed, with room for red fruits, lime and a floral finish. As the distillery’s most approachable expression, it reflects over two hundred years of distilling tradition in a modern, accessible form. The high-quality gift box rounds off the harmonious overall impression.

On the palate, it pairs particularly well with smoked fish such as salmon or mackerel, grilled seafood or oysters. It also pairs well with mild to medium-strength cheeses, nut-based biscuits and desserts containing almonds or citrus. Furthermore, this smoky Islay whisky complements BBQ dishes with moderate seasoning and impresses with its balanced, long-lasting character.
