The Càirdeas expression for 2022 was specially created for Friends of Laphroaig. This limited edition single malt whisky was aged in first-fill Maker’s Mark Bourbon barrels, enhancing the classic Laphroaig flavors with a distinctive coastal character that evokes memories of sea spray and storms. The unique four-storey construction of Warehouse 1, with its fluctuating temperatures and exposure to rugged conditions, contributes to its enigmatic flavors and maritime quality. Bottled at a strength of 52.2%.

Tasting Notes:

• Nose: Bright and fresh, with aromas of sweet vanilla, citrus zest, and a touch of brine. Hints of toasted oak and herbal notes add complexity.
