Laphroaig Oak Select is a Scotch whisky crafted from a blend of single malts aged in Oloroso sherry butts, first-fill ex-bourbon quarter casks and Pedro Ximénez sherry hogsheads. The whiskies undergo different levels of maturation before being finished in virgin American oak barrels.
There's kind of a funky brown rice flavor and aroma present, and it feels a bit thinner on the palate than the usual distillery releases. However, the light weight makes for good warm weather sipping. Just wish the flavor wasn't in such a rush to leave.
