Laphroaig Select – 70 cl

Laphroaig Select (recently repackaged and known in some markets as Laphroaig Oak Select) is a non-age-statement (NAS) Islay single malt Scotch whisky designed to be the distillery's most approachable, mellow, and introductory peated expression. It tempers Laphroaig's notoriously intense, medicinal peat smoke by blending spirits matured in multiple cask styles to create a sweeter, softer flavor profile

The Blend: It brings together whiskies aged in Oloroso Sherry butts, Pedro Ximénez (PX) Sherry hogsheads, First-fill Bourbon quarter casks, and standard ex-bourbon barrels.

The Finish: The final blend undergoes a six-month finishing period in virgin American oak barrels, which adds prominent vanilla, honey, and wood sugars.

ABV: 40%

• Nose: Subtle, classic Islay ash and medicinal peat smoke, balanced by soft barley, vanilla, and sweet notes of red fruits and lemon zest.
• Palate: Soft, light-bodied entry. Gentle campfire smoke layered with butterscotch, creme brulee, honey, and light orchard fruit, followed by mild baking spices like ginger and cinnamon.
• Finish: Medium length, featuring lingering dry oak tannins, light ash, lime sherbet, and a subtle floral sweetness.

One of the world's most popular blends, and the best-selling Scotch whisky in Scotland. Famous Grouse is a very nicely balanced, malty blend which was first made in 1896, and would go on to be known as The Famous Grouse, with the name registered in 1905. Around eighty years later, the company was awarded a Royal Warrant. The blend represents great value for money, and it also works beautiful in whisky-based cocktails. Delicious.

Johnnie Walker XR was inspired by the hand-written blending notes of Sir Alexander Walker, the grandson of the legendary Johnnie Walker.

A luxurious blend from the exclusive reserve of aged casks, including that of the now quiet distillery of Brora. Aged for an extended period of 21 years this exceptional legacy blend is both warm and spicy to the palate with layers of complexity to suit the discerning whisky drinker.

Nose: Spiced apple, smoky oak and a little toasted brioche.

Palate: Herbal as it opens. This gives way to orange and lemon peels by the bucket-load, followed by another kick of smoky malt.

Finish: Wafts of Sherry-soaked raisins last and last.

Swing features an elevated amount of Speyside malts, balanced by malts from the northern Highlands and Islay. On the tongue it starts off a bit sweet and then the spicy notes take affect mid-palate which exposes the smoke and peat. It has a smooth lingering smoke and spice finish. The result is a luxurious flavor that's light in the foreground, with sweet mouth-watering depth developing on the palate.

The Macallan treated this 18 Year Old to not just one, but two cask content-types for its maturation, released as part of the Double Cask series! Oloroso sherry was used to season a combination of both American and European oak casks, with the former imparting vanilla nuances while the latter brings that hallmark Macallan spice. Another fantastic sherried single malt from the Speyside distillery!

Tasting Notes

Nose: Dried fruit, ginger and toffee. Rich orange with hints of clove and nutmeg.

Palate: Rich raisin and sultana with notes of caramel, vanilla and ginger, balanced by wood spice and zesty citrus.

Finish: Warm oak spice with ginger, turning to sweet orange.

Country: Highland, Scotland ABV: 43%
