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.

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.

Experience the quintessential flavor of Laphroiag 10. Crafted to a generations-old method on the Scottish island of Islay, is an excellent introduction to peated whisky. A classic dram, this full-bodied single malt has a surprising sweetness which leads into a long, warming finish. Each sip brings complicated notes of smoke, seaweed, peat and a hint of salt – like a bracing fall day on Scotland's rugged coast.|The rich flavour of this Laphroaig Scotch makes it a staple choice, ideal for novices and connoisseurs alike. It's best-served neat or poured over ice. Laphroaig 10 gets its distinctive taste from the natural features of Islay, the remote and rugged island off the West Coast of Scotland where the whisky is made. Local water is sourced from the legendary Kilbride Stream, and the malted barley is cold-smoked then dried over a fire fuelled by the Islay peat. This lends a distinctive flavour that speaks of the land where it was forged.

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.
