This special Laphroaig is crafted from carefully selected casks from each of the distillery's key styles - with one notable addition. The heart of this single malt is drawn from a final maturation in new American Oak casks, a rarity used for Scotch whisky maturation. With spirit selected by the master distiller from Quarter Cask, PX Cask and Triple Wood (European Oak casks) and a final addition of 10 Year Old, the whisky represents a subtle blending of peat, oak and sweetness. This is a full-bodied expression, featuring Laphroaig's trademark 'peat reek' matched by an additional layer of complexity and depth brought about by the fusion of the maturation styles and different oaks.

Something of a mystery Laphroaig with very little information available. Created from selected casks from each of the distillery's key styles (Quarter Cask, PX, Triple Wood, and 10 year old) with one exception - the heart of the spirit is sourced from a final maturation in virgin American oak. Seasoned whisky drinkers will be aware that new wood is rarely used in Scotch Whisky maturation. Instead, almost all whisky is put into casks that have previously held other beverages, usually Bourbon or Sherry. New wood tends to stamp its inherent flavours into the whisky in a definitive way. Can we expect this to be a battle between peat reek and coconut? Natural colour.

Product Description: Peat softened by oak, smoke edged with sweetness. Laphroaig Oak Select Cask Collection is crafted as an approachable way into the distillery’s famously uncompromising style. It draws from whiskies matured in Oloroso sherry butts, Pedro Ximénez hogsheads, ex-bourbon barrels, and quarter casks, before being finished in rare virgin American oak. This layering of cask influence tempers the powerful maritime smoke with ripe fruit, spice, and gentle vanilla, creating a whisky that remains distinctly Islay yet with an openness that invites exploration. The whisky carries the unmistakable Laphroaig character—iodine-rich peat, sea spray, and briny depth—but framed by softened sweetness and a floral lift. For those beginning their journey with Islay malts, or seasoned drinkers seeking a more supple side of Laphroaig, Oak Select offers a thoughtful balance between rugged tradition and contemporary accessibility.

Laphroaig, founded in 1815 by brothers Donald and Alexander Johnston, has an extremely rich history; neighbourly disputes with Lagavulin and many ownership changes to name a couple. The 10 Year Old Single Malt is Laphroaig's signature malt that is full sparkling gold in colour and has that signature rich smoke and seaweed character with a hint of sweetness. Surprisingly the palate is rich with subtle sweet hints and complex layers of salt and peatiness that evolve on the palate and continue to the long and dry finish.

"Unquestionably one of the great malts of the year...in spite of itself". - Jim Murray Tasting note: Deep gold / brass. Muted at first; builds with a PX top note almost overwhelming the expected distillery aromas; if only momentarily. Brandy soaked raisins and dark chocolate amid flashes of sweet peat and pepper. Three to four minutes exposure draws out smouldering cedar, cigar box and hints of elastoplast, accenting fruit cake in later inspections. Terrific balance in the sweet, smokey-malt mid palate; vanilla and Christmas cake add richness to the finish. Concludes prolonged and lozenge-like with Laphroaig's trademark medicinal edge and pepperiness breaking through late, finally checked by the sherry. Big PX influence here but deftly handled - think of it as drunken Christmas pudding, Islay-style . 48% Alc./Vol. Normally travel retail exclusive. Extremely limited stocks.

The Quarter Cask is a strong, double cask matured, non-chill filtered malt from the iconic Islay distillery, Laphroaig. With a nose of burning peat embers and hints of coconut and bananas that is then followed by a palate that is deep and complex with smoky flavours. Still quite gentle with a hint of sweetness, this 48% Single Malt has a long, spicy and smoky finish that seems to last an eternity.

This takes its inspiration from the small casks often used for Whisky in the 19th century. The relationship between barrels and the maturing spirit is critical and a small cask size gives up to 30% greater contact with wood compared to larger sizes, thus greatly intensifying the maturation process. The additional oak influence creates a soft sweetness and velvety feel when first tasted, then the intense peatiness unique to Laphroaig, comes bursting through. The finish is long and alternates between sweetness and peat.

Product Description: The Wall Collection Rope Edition 39 Year Old is an exceptionally rare expression that captures the history, place, and character of Laphroaig at its most elevated. Part of a limited series celebrating the iconic wall of Warehouse No.1, this release explores the relationship between Islay peat and long sherry maturation, expressed through both spirit and design. Matured for 39 years, the whisky draws depth and richness from Oloroso sherry seasoned European oak hogsheads before finishing in a Pedro Ximénez sherry seasoned European oak butt. The result is a composed and deeply layered single malt, where gentle peat smoke is woven through notes of toffee, dark red fruit, polished leather, and sweet spice. Bottled in extremely limited quantities, only 200 bottles were released worldwide. Each bottle is individually hand-painted by British artist and ceramicist Laura Carlin using the same green paint applied annually to the Laphroaig lettering on the distillery wall. The rope motif references the historic puffer boats that once carried sherry casks to Islay’s shores, tying together craftsmanship, maritime heritage, and flavour. This is a whisky for collectors and devoted Laphroaig enthusiasts, offering a rare opportunity to experience mature Islay peat shaped by time, sherry influence, and a profound sense of place. Tasting Notes NOSE – Spiced toffee and dried fruit richness Soft maritime peat rises alongside notes of polished leather, molasses, red cherry, cranberry and hints of mandarin and salted caramel. PALATE – Rich, smooth and layered Treacle toffee, candied orange, toasted hazelnut and ripe dried fruits unfold across a gently smoky and subtly sweet palate, framed by refined oak. FINISH – Long, smoky and elegant Smoked orange, soft oak tannins and warming spice give way to a lingering maritime finish with echoes of peat and sherry-soaked depth.
