It is a serviceable Laphroaig, but nothing to write home about.
The nose is the best part of it with the uniquely Laphroaigy smell and quite fruity. The mouth is quite subdued and feels very light, more of an ash flavor and sensation than in other offerings and the aftertaste is very short and thin.
Bought this out of curiosity since I love Laphroaig, but wont be buying this again.
Quite below Laphroaig 10 and Quarter Cask. Still nice fully smoked flavour. Feel like the bottle improves a little with a bit of oxidation which takes a bit of the punch making it more rounded.
The Select is a blend of four of their other whiskies (The QC, 10, PX and Triple Wood). There’s a light smokiness on the nose which is the unmistakable Laphroaig “peat reek”. There isn’t a particular flavour that stands out to me.
The taste is peaty and punchy but that disappears quickly and leaves you with a fruity taste which I still can’t place.
All in all it’s a great taste but it lacks a distinctness and disappears quickly.
