Laphroaig Oak Select

For the Laphroaig Oak Select, the Islay distillery has taken whisky from a number of different types of cask, including oloroso sherry butts, white American oak, Pedro Ximenez seasoned hoggies, quarter casks, and first-fill bourbon casks. Quite a selection, wouldn't you say? A laid-back addition to the Laphroaig core range of single malts.

Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt

Nose Classic, medicinal peat notes up front, supported by citrus-y, chocolate-y sweet notes and soft barley.

Palate The peat is there, but it's taking it easy and letting the bright notes of lemon, green apples and mint stand out. Darker baking spice notes develop further on.

Finish Medium length, peat remaining in sight until it's over.

Overall It doesn't pack a huge punch of peat, which might be just the ticket for introducing someone to the wonders of Islay's smoky expressions.

Reviews for Laphroaig Oak Select
A discovery this Hogmanay!
A discovery this Hogmanay! A fabulous malt at a good price. God help me, I found it on Sainsbury's but don't you you let that put you off. I am sold on this!

Simply bad
I read some positive reviews and decided to try. I'm very disapointed, maybe I expected too much, but this is bad. The worst Laphroiag I've ever tasted.

Ignore the babies
After reading the whinging, whining of supposed whisky drinkers, I've had to come to Laphroaig's defence. Yes it does have the wonderful, medicinal hit that true whisky drinkers love, but it also has a lovely mellow linger on the tongue of honey.
Stop crying about it all you out there moaning about the very thing that makes Laphroaig unique and write a song about how much you love milk!!!!

Interesting
A lighter version of there 10yo. Personally I like it. If you haven’t tried laphroaig this is a good starting point. Be warned though, this style of whisky isn’t your standard and isn’t for everybody.

Undrinkable
I have enjoyed my fair share of decent single malt whiskys over the years but I have to write this review as this is undrinkable. This not only smells and tastes like TCP it is that bad that I think I'm going to have to research how to dispose of this - something I've never done before even when a spirit hasn't exactly been to my taste. Some reviews liken this to Ardbeg or Talisker...I suggest you spend your money on these and don't damage your insides.

An excellent peated whisky introduction
This has some of the smoke/peat flavour associated with Laphroaig but is missing the luxurious smoky scent I love, that said at times I prefer it to the 10 year single malt for its smooth, less peated flavour, think it is a great introduction whisky before trying more heavily peated ones that can be overwhelming.

Snobbery is rife
Ignoring the clueless fools who insist on submitting comparisons to TCP for every Islay malt, I feel the need to defend this one. Sure, it's not Laphroaig 10, but at the price I picked it up (£24), it's not half bad and, I'm sure, will mellow as the bottle progresses. Benefits from a good splash of water, but ignore the single malt snobbery on display here. Toffee/citrus on the nose, a pleasant (and surprisingly long) aftertaste, with plenty of apple and smoke. Really not bad by any stretch.

No Messing
Laphroaig have scaled down the slightly medicinal taste to its advantage. This is a lovely simple malt which hasn't been "messed with" in this and that cask while still being intrinsically a smoky variety.

Not ordinary run of the mill whisky
Do not buy this thinking it is a run of the mill scotch,and then leave terrible reviews, do your homework first please ! this is a heavy peated malted whisky with a salty, smoky iodine flavour, similar to Ardbeg, Talisker and other islay malts etc, it's not for everyone but i love Laphroaig, i would not even buy shelf blended whiskies

Rubbish tbh
Not horrendous given the price (I paid £25) but I still wouldn't buy it again.

You can find far better 'own brand' bottles for less than this.

It's really not very good. It's cheap enough to try it for yourself, but unless you've recently had covid, I doubt you'll disagree.
