Product details
The 2024 Càirdeas Cask Favourites release is a special edition celebrating 30 years of Friends of Laphroaig, bringing together the essence of two beloved past releases: the 2019 Triple Wood and the 2021 PX Cask. Released in conjunction with Fèis Ìle, the renowned Islay festival, this 10-year-old expression offers a bold and distinct flavor profile that honors Laphroaig's loyal community. Known for its signature smokiness and minerality, this Càirdeas edition layers those iconic traits with a sweeter, fruitier depth, thanks to the rich influence of these carefully chosen casks.
On the nose, expect tantalizing notes of Brazil nut toffee brittle, sweet vanilla custard, and baking spices, followed by the comforting aromas of milk chocolate-covered raisins and spiced orange. The palate is rich, sweet, and oily, with flavors of smoked orange toffee, stewed peaches, and the smoldering warmth of a campfire. Dried fruit is perfectly balanced with hints of coffee grounds and liquorice root, leading to a long, slightly herbal finish. The experience concludes with Laphroaig’s classic peat-rich smokiness, slightly sweet and dry, underscored by a peppery finish that lingers, making this release a fitting tribute to the legacy of Friends of Laphroaig. Slàinte!
