Laphroaig Cairdeas Lleach Edition - Feis Ile 2011 Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky 8 Year Old

Colour

Deep amber-gold with coppery highlights and a warm honey glow.

Nose

Intense peat smoke and iodine-led coastal aromas form the backbone, with sea-salt breeze and medicinal notes. Bourbon-derived sweetness spills in: vanilla, caramel, and toasted oak, lending warmth and depth. Hints of citrus zest and faint almond drift through the smoke, finishing bright and inviting.

Palate

An oily, full-bodied palate of bold peat and iodine, tempered by ex-bourbon vanilla, toffee and caramel. Vanilla cream, dried citrus, and sea-salt weave through charred oak as a peppery spice lifts the mid-palate. The finish unfurls slowly: smoke, coastal brine, and a warm sweetness that lingers long in the glass.

Finish

Long, warming finish where medicinal peat, sea salt and ash soften into vanilla, toffee and toasted oak. The ex-Maker’s Mark bourbon cask influence leaves a creamy sweetness and gentle spice that lingers, with a smoke-kissed warmth fading to a final, delicate peat echo.
