Laphroaig Select Cask 700ml

Laphroaig Select Islay Single Scotch Whisky has been 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. The nose is woody. Water brings out geranium, pollen, and damp leather. The palate is simple, clean, and mild (and smoky), with bay leaf, light dried fruit, and that oily wood. Undoubtedly there’s a lot going on, but it’s not married, and 40% means it lacks the necessary wallop.
