About this product
When Smoke Meets Soft Oak Harmony.
Laphroaig Oak Select is the distillery’s most approachable expression, softening its famed medicinal peat with a marriage of five unique casks. Think ripe red fruit, subtle vanilla, and floral finishes blended into the unmistakable smoke of Islay. It’s a dram that’s easy to sip yet richly layered—a perfect entry point for Irish whisky lovers curious about peat, offering both familiarity and intrigue.
Why we love it:
This isn’t an apology for Laphroaig’s intensity—it’s a smartly curated balance that invites exploration. The peat remains present, but it’s warmed and tempered by sherry, bourbon, and virgin oak influences, turning "peat bomb" into "peat harmony." It’s the kind of whisky you can recommend to friends and savour yourself, again and again.
