Laphroaig Cairdeas - Feis Ile 2009 Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky 12 Year Old · 1998 Vintage

Colour

Deep amber with coppery-gold sheen and a mahogany depth, a warm, lacquered glow.

Nose

Bold peat smoke mingles with medicinal iodine and sea-salt breeze, while sherry-cask warmth darkens the aroma with fig and raisin sweetness, cocoa, and leather, all entwined with vanilla-toned oak.

Palate

Oil-rich and full-bodied, the palate delivers peat smoke, medicinal iodine and sea-salt brine that coats the tongue. Sherry-sweetness threads through dark fruit—raisins, fig, cocoa—alongside vanilla and toasted oak. A hint of spice and ash adds complexity, and the finish lingers with coastal heat, ember smoke and a balancing touch of sweetness.

Finish

Long, resinous finish lingers with signature Laphroaig peat—salty, medicinal and smoky—accented by gentle sherry fruit and dark chocolate. A warm ember of iodine and leather fades slowly, leaving a mineral sweetness and a final whisper of coastal brine.
