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. This varied cask maturation technique was inspired by Ian Hunter who was one of the first distillers to travel to bourbon county in the USA to identify new sources of casks that would give him greater consistency and new flavours. The resulting 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. - Learn more about Laphroaig
