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
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 with a lingering earthy peat and creosote phenolic character. A slight sea-salt sensation to finish.
