Description

Friendship is the perfect reason to raise a dram, wouldn’t you agree? Well that’s exactly what every Càirdeas release is about. After all, it means “friendship” in Gaelic. Laphroaig® Càirdeas 2021 delivers 58.9% vol, complex flavours and layered aromas. ​ ​ The triple maturation process for this limited edition single malt whisky starts with our classic aging in ex-Bourbon barrels before being transferred to quarter casks. The spirit then goes into Pedro Ximenez casks – more precisely sherry hogsheads. Once extracted, the whisky is filtered and bottled at natural cask strength, creating an experience akin to tasting whisky at the source. ​ ​ Our famous flavours of peat smoke and seaweed are joined by sweet notes of Manuka honey and oak spice. The finish is long, warm and intriguing — as conversations between Friends over a dram of Laphroaig® often are.
