Laphroaig Cairdeas - White Port & Madeira - Feis Ile 2023 Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky
In stock
The Cairdeas expression for 2023 brings together the best of much loved Cairdeas 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.

Tasting Notes
Colour
Rich amber-gold with coppery-bronze edges and a warm, sunlit glow.
Nose
Cinnamon and freshly ground ginger mingle with crisp green apple, while toasted peaches, charred orange peel, and caramelized sugar drift into a whisper of bonfire embers.
Palate
Honey sweetness paired with juicy citrus characters and delicate notes of hazelnut, tannic oak, dark chocolate and slightly bitter caramel leading to earthy iodine-rich smoke.
Finish
Sweet and smooth, it lingers with earthy peat and creosote phenolics, finished with a subtle sea-salt kiss.
