Product Description

2016 release of the Feis Ile Cairdeas is finished in Madeira fortified wine casks and bottled at 51.6%

These limited releases are highly sought after and this Cairdeas (meaning friendship) will indeed make new friends for this distillery with this fruitier style for Laphroaig.

Nose: Blood orange, salty seaside rock pools, red liquorice, sweet roasted red peppers, chilli flake spice, some earthy and leathery notes with dried red fruit/berries and smoky peel.

Palate: Peppery, chilli flake heat followed by earthy and smoky red berries, anise, blood orange, charred red peppers, salty dried fruit, smoked stewed rhubarb.

Finish: Peppery red berries, chilli heat, red liquorice, smoked red grapefruit, beetroot crisps, tarry dried fruit and slightly savoury.

Plenty going on here with the Laphroaig house style and the madeira casks vying for your attention with the match ending in a well balanced draw.
