Laphroaig Select | Whisky Review

[@doctortabby]

I just bought a bottle of this for myself for Christmas. I love it. So peaty; so good.

[@petetheweet]

Whenever I buy a bottle of whiskey I come to your corresponding video and smell/taste with you. I honestly appreciate the experience more because you put my enjoyment into words. Keep up the great work.

[@FA-he6xd]

Same here

[@grndzro777]

You can't compare any of the Laphroaig's They are all different mixtures. For me the Select hits all the right notes.

[@revolvermaster4939]

Agreed 95%! Have you had the “Triple Wood?” I think it’s what makes “Select” a goodun.

[@grndzro777]

Not yet. It's on my list though. Usually below Pussers Gunpowder proof rum, and my budget drinkers Evan Williams, and Mellow Corn. I think I am incapable of passing up that rum. It isn't even a conscious thought. The world goes black and I suddenly end up in my car with the bottle. There is nothing I can do about it. @@revolvermaster4939

[@revolvermaster4939]

I like select, I can taste the “Triple Wood” in it. Off subject, but I had 3 Laphroaigs almost empty (Lore, 10 batch 13 & 15) that I blended with a 1/2 bottle of Select, OMFG it’s good!

[@flamgor1]

Great video guys, a bit longer videos like these are best in my opinion. With a story of the whisky or the distillery.

[@triplecap4307]

Had a bottle of this when it come out about a decade ago. One was more than enough. Your review is very generous unless they changed things up.

[@tobiasfunke2372]

I agree, I had one when they came out, and when a new line launches, the first batch is always the best, and it was a watered down experience from the 10, never had one since

[@TimmehTRP]

Have you ever had the Laphroaig Lore? That's my favorite so I'm wondering how it compares

[@FEWGEE1]

It is by far the worst Laphroaig.

[@cesar1909]

First! Many years a fan of Mr. Horst!

[@lightplays2181]

Good rewiev ! Laphroaig is my favorite whisky , my "big love" ))) Slainte Mhath !

[@johndayan7126]

Great review! Thank you. As this was my first time trying Select, I was a little thrown off by the relatively lower ABV for a Laphroaig (40% versus 58.6% for the cask strength), but given the relatively lower ABV there is still a lot of flavor in the Select at a good price. Cheers!

[@Erin-bd6jg]

First time having Laphroaig. I was looking for the 10 but they only had this in stock. It's not bad, but I won't be buying it again. It seems like they're trying to go for something like Ardbeg 10, but falling short. I'd like to try this at a cask strength though.

[@womblesfan8939]

Excuse me I like the glasses you’re drinking from. They look very elegant. Where can I buy some like that?

[@stevenmorris2293]

Amazon

[@leojanuszewski1019]

Does this taste smokier than the standard 10 Year?

[@FEWGEE1]

Select is the only Laphroaig I've never bought again. It's rough, young, and immature.

[@peterg7257]

yeah....I think its bad. not into it.

[@eyemallears2647]

Thanks for telling me that this is extreme Smokey. Now I can buy other scotches knowing that I won’t hate them so much…. I usually like bushmills 10yr single malt.

[@eyemallears2647]

Haha I wrote this 2 months ago…. now I LOVE the peat. I want to get some octomore!

[@trijitchatterjee7579]

​@@eyemallears2647Once you start liking the peat in your drams, there's no going back. It really adds a different layer of complexion and warmth.

[@eyemallears2647]

@@trijitchatterjee7579 it’s hilarious. I barely remember a time when I didn’t love ardbeg’s bizarrebq, quarter cask, Talisker etc…. The number of peated scotches I’ve tried and loved since that initial post is CRAZY,

[@RDXDGP]

How can I buy it in India..??

[@davidjones1423]

Your eyes lite up for this one

[@jeffmatteson7178]

Any suggestions on what recipes this is good in, or foods to pair it with?

[@nickashton3049]

Strong blue cheese like Stilton & Roquefort etc, oysters & mussels etc, beef jerky, & dark chocolate.

[@Venetianization]

Thank you for the review. I really enjoy this dram. Besides from sipping it is also good for cooking. Think ribs on the grill, or pulled pork. Excelent!

[@GgG-ih1ps]

I prefer the 10 year far more than select . It has a loss of the malty depth I taste in 10

[@religus88]

Bardzo dobry laphroaig w cenie 115-120 zł

[@ryantrundle7749]

50ml of this half a can of Fanta its a winner.

[@drax14QC]

It’s weird seeing Horst without glasses

[@NeilImmortal]

Worst Laproaig ever bottled, only beaten by Bowmore Legend on how bad it is (ended up used for making BBQ sauce). The 10 or the Quarter Cask are far superior.

[@NolenNova33]

Cut all the talking and get to Horst swishing in his mouth and saying "Ohhgh"

[@CHEMOTHERAPYWIG]

Didn’t rate the Select, at all. It’s often on offer in the UK, and for good reason.

[@pokeme8347]

Undrinkable. Tasted like something you’d put on a cut (germolene) 🤮

[@davidjohn4835]

this is a terrible whiskey, made me sick like drinking from the ocean. not a good whiskey at all... I dont give the review a negative, i appreciate your videos, but this is a miss for me.
