Introduction:
Laphroaig Select is a refined yet approachable Islay single malt, crafted as an introduction to peated whisky. Drawing from a selection of casks, including Oloroso sherry butts, Pedro Ximénez hogsheads, ex-Bourbon casks, and new American oak barrels, this expression offers a smooth and complex balance of smoke, sweetness, and spice.

Tasting Notes:

• Nose: Forward peat smoke, followed by ripe red fruits.
• Palate: Sweet on the first sip, evolving into layers of peat smoke, ash, and seaweed.
• Finish: Long and lingering with floral notes, hints of marzipan, and a touch of lime.

Pairings:
Best enjoyed neat or with a drop of water to enhance its complexity. Pairs well with smoked salmon, grilled meats, rich cheeses, and dark chocolate, complementing its smoky and slightly sweet character.
