Laphroaig Oak Select Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky [700ML]

Description

Are you ready to experience the bold, peaty character of Islay in a uniquely approachable expression?

As a certified spirits specialist, I’m thrilled to introduce the Laphroaig Oak Select Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky, a remarkable Premium expression that showcases the distillery’s mastery of multi-cask maturation. Unlike the robust intensity of the Laphroaig 10 Years Cask Strength Batch 16, this Oak Select offers a smoother introduction to Islay’s signature maritime character while maintaining the distillery’s distinctive medicinal peat. For those exploring various Islay profiles, it presents an interesting contrast to the Caol Ila Moch‘s lighter smoke.

• Distillery: Laphroaig – Founded 1815, one of Islay’s most iconic distilleries
• Region: Islay, Scotland – Known for intense peat smoke and coastal brine
• ABV: 40% – Delivers approachable smokiness without overwhelming heat
• Volume: 700ml
• Maturation: Triple-cask combination of virgin American oak, first-fill bourbon barrels, and quarter casks
• Tasting Notes: Nose reveals gentle peat smoke with vanilla sweetness and hints of coconut. Palate offers creamy texture with classic Laphroaig medicinal notes balanced by caramel and toasted oak. Finish is medium-length with lingering smoke and subtle spice.
• Best Served: Neat or with a few drops of water in a tulip-shaped glass at room temperature

Our spirits specialists at Mr. Chow’s Liquor Store have found this expression particularly versatile for both newcomers and seasoned peat enthusiasts, offering complexity without the intensity that can intimidate. The innovative triple-cask maturation creates remarkable depth.

Ideal for: Whisky enthusiasts seeking balanced Islay character, corporate gifts, or personal collection building. Pairs with: Rich Malaysian cuisine including beef rendang, smoked duck, or aged cheddar with sambal. Recommended for: Those who appreciate authentic Islay whisky at RM 230, and consider exploring the Laphroaig PX Cask for a sweeter, sherry-influenced experience.
