Laphroaig Cairdeas 2023 White Port Madeira // 700 ml
Product Description
It's no secret that Scotland is renowned for its whiskies. Iodine-rich scotch from the Islay region is among the country's most characterful drams, with Laphroaig offering one of the most exceptional medicinal malts. The Laphroaig distillery was founded on the south coast of Islay by Alexander Johnston in 1815. Named after its location, ‘broad hollow by the bay,’ this family-owned and operated distillery benefited from a surplus of barley along with a water source that was particularly soft and peaty. The resulting whisky was one of exceptional character and highly appreciated by whisky blenders like Lagavulin. Its reputation spread around the globe, eventually becoming the first whisky to be given the International Spirit Challenge Trophy in 1999.
Offered here is Laphroaig Cairdeas 2023 White Port Madeira. Laphroaig's Càirdeas expression for 2023 brings together the best of much loved Càirdeas releases over recent years. The limited-edition single malt is a combination of Madeira and White Port casks. Three quarters of the whisky is matured in second-fill Madeira casks, releasing smoky, spicy, and sweet fruit flavours. The final quarter has been finished in first-fill Port casks; the majority of these are white port, adding a hint of crisp fruit and deep woodiness to the flavour. It’s a new take on Laphroaig that plays to our strengths – welcoming friends old and new.
Bottled at a fixed strength of 52.3%, Laphroaig® Càirdeas 2023 is aged in White Port and Madeira casks. Created exclusively for Friends of Laphroaig.
