Laphroaig Select

The Select is the latest addition to the famous Islay distillery of Laphroaig's core range. Laphroaig is well known for its very peaty and smoky style of single malts and the Select will sit alongside the classic 10 years old, Quarter Cask, Triple Wood and 18 years old expressions. The whiskies used to create the Select have been selected by Laphroaig's Master Distiller John Campbell and come from a number of different American and European oak cask types. However, the main difference in this release is the use of new American oak casks in the final maturation.

Reviews

For the price, this is an excellent whiskey, especially for those starting to get into Islay peat and smoke and are price conscious.

VS. the 10 year, the select is not as smooth, and peat+smoke is less.
