Laphroaig Select

Lovely Laphroaig nose. Starts off with the familiar Laphroaig peat flavour. Not as viscous or rich as your typical Laphroaig but has a lovely sweet peatedness which balances perfectly. Lore would smoke this one for richness and not a long aftertaste, but still I prefer it to Four Oaks perhaps because of the setting - a small Spanish bar with friends. In of itself its a 3.5 at most but it's very cheap. $45 USD, which is less than the 10 year. And so for that reason it is rounded to a 4 star.
