Details
Laphroaig Select takes its name from the special selection of American and European casks, chosen for their unique character that they give during maturation. The Inspiration for our new Global expression has been take from history ‚70-80 years ago, the time of the last family member owner of the distillery, Ian Hunter. Ian was one of the biggest influences in the history of Laphroaig indeed he was one of the first distillers to travel to bourbon county in the USA to identify new sources of casks that would give him greater consistency as well as new flavours. He later married this ‚'new' style of Laphroaig with his traditionally matured (European cask) Laphroaig.
Inspired by his early work , Laphroiag have used Oloroso sherry butts, straight American white oak (non-filled with bourbon), PX seasoned hogsheads, Quarter Casks and finally of course first fill Bourbon Casks. This varied cask maturation technique enabled them to create 6 new flavour combinations that were then tested with theirs to choose their favourite style and indeed name. The winning flavour and name chosen by was is LAPHROAIG SELECT.
