Laphroaig Select Single Malt Whisky 700ml

Laphroaig Select Single Malt Whisky

Sometimes referred to as the most richly flavoured of all Scotch whiskies, Laphroaig is one of the most iconic island distilleries. With its smoky and iodine flavours, Laphroaig embodies the Islay identity.
Although the exact etymology isnt known, Laphroaig is said to mean broad hollow by the bay in Gaelic. This references its location, a small basin on Islays southern coast. However, it officially operated under the business name of D. Johnston & Co throughout most of its history after Donald and Alexander Johnston, who in 1815 founded their distillery on the islands south coast.
One of Scotland's most character filled Malts, Laphroaig is known for its signature Seaweed-led, pungent, earthy aroma of blue peat smoke, as well as the sweet nuttiness of the barley and the delicate heathery perfume of Islay's streams. Have it with sticky pork ribs or dark chocolate to compliment a dessert. Best enjoyed by itself or over ice, its perfect for a late nightcap, pouring it neat or on the rocks to bring out its subtle yet rich flavours. It is as unique as the island itself.

Laphroaig Select combines five specially selected casks of their iconic Islay scotch. Laphroaigs master distiller carefully draws whisky matured the historic way in Oloroso sherry butts, Pedro Ximinez seasoned hogsheads, and first-fill bourbon quarter casks to create this distinctive blend. The heart is drawn from a final maturation in new, American oak, which adds bold flavour.

Nose: Peat first, then ripe red fruits with a hint of dryness.

Taste: Sweet up front then classic dry, peaty, ashy flavours followed by a rich finish.

Finish: Long lingering and florally with marzipan and limes at the end.
