Vendor: Laphroaig
Type: Scotch
Price: 109.99

A distinctive cask-finished Islay single malt that marries classic peat with sweet fortified-wine influence for a layered, wine-kissed profile.

Description

This Cairdeas release was finished in white port and Madeira casks, introducing a vinous sweetness that sits alongside the whisky’s smoky, coastal character. The result is an intriguing contrast of peat and candied fruit notes.

The bottle is a limited seasonal release that rewards attentive sipping and paired tasting.

Tasting Notes

Nose: Peat smoke meets sweet wine aromas and bright citrus.

Palate: Rich, sweet wine notes and caramelized fruit layered over coastal peat and gentle spice.

Finish: Long, wine-inflected finish with underlying smoke and saline edges.

Why This Bottle Stands Out

The white port and Madeira cask finishing adds an uncommon sweetness and complexity to classic Islay peat, creating a compelling interplay between maritime smoke and fortified-wine richness.
