Laphroaig Select Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky

The Legacy of Islay in Every Sip

Laphroaig Select is a masterful tribute to the distillery’s rich heritage, specifically inspired by the pioneering work of Ian Hunter, the last founding family member to own the distillery. By marrying traditional European maturation with bold American oak influences, this expression captures the heart of Islay with a sophisticated twist. This global expression is a curated selection of five distinct cask types, resulting in a complex yet balanced peated whisky that honors nearly a century of distilling history.
