Laphroaig Select Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky

Laphroaig Select Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky

Winery: Laphroaig
Description: Laphroaig Select takes its name from the special selection of American and European casks, chosen for their unique character that they give during maturation. Inspired by his early work, we have used Oloroso sherry butts, straight American white oak (non-filled with bourbon), Px seasoned hogsheads, Quarter Casks and finally of course first fill Bourbon Casks. This varied cask maturation technique enabled us to create 6 new flavour combinations that were then tested with our FOL's to choose their favourite style and indeed name. The winning flavour and name chosen by you is Laphroaig Select. Color: A Fully Natural colour with no caramel added, it is sparkling gold with layers of colour - arising from different maturations and oils mixing together. Nose: Peat first, then ripe red fruits from the Px and Oloroso casks. A hint of dryness next from the American oak with a long lingering florally finish - Marzipan and even limes at the end. Palate: This full bodied whisky is initially sweet up front- matching the nose, then the classic dry, peaty, ashy flavours come bounding in followed by a lovely rich finish arising from the rich fruits of the European casks.
