Laphroaig Oak Select Single Malt Scotch Whisky 750mL

Laphroaig Oak Select Single Malt Scotch Whisky

Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky | 40% ABV (80 Proof) | 750 mL | Islay, Scotland

Process & Profile

Laphroaig Oak Select is an Islay single malt crafted to showcase Laphroaig’s signature coastal peat smoke while adding a smoother, more oak-driven balance. Built around a selection of oak influences, it layers vanilla sweetness, toasted wood, and gentle spice around the classic Laphroaig profile—sea air, medicinal notes, and smoky intensity. The result is a bold but approachable Islay pour that works equally well neat, on ice, or with a splash of water to open up the aromatics.

Tasting Notes

• Nose: Sea spray, peat smoke, iodine, vanilla, toasted oak

• Palate: Smoky peat, sweet oak, black pepper, hints of citrus zest

• Finish: Long and warming with lingering smoke, oak spice, and coastal salinity

What Makes It Special

• Classic Laphroaig peat-and-coast character with a more rounded oak sweetness

• Built to balance smoke with vanilla, toast, and spice rather than pure intensity

• Great entry point for customers exploring Islay while still satisfying peat lovers

• 80 proof makes it easy to sip and mix compared to higher-proof smoky malts

• Strong in simple serves where smoke and oak can stay front and center

How to Enjoy

Keep the build simple and let the Islay character do the work.

• Neat: Best for the full smoke, sea air, and vanilla-oak balance

• One large cube: Softens the smoke and brings forward sweeter oak tones

• A few drops of water: Lifts vanilla and citrus while rounding the sharper edges

• Smoky highball: Soda water + lemon peel for a crisp coastal serve
