Each year our Distillery Manager, John Campbell, crafts a limited edition malt to celebrate the Friends of Laphroaig and friendship ("Cairdeas" in Gaelic) in general. Cairdeas 2021 is triple matured in American oak ex-Bourbon barrels, followed by quarter casks and finally in European oak hogsheads containing PX sherry. This creates a complex expression that is full of character that we've bottled at cask strength to ensure rich and intricate flavors. Here's to friendship! Celebration of friendship developed by Laphroaig's Distillery Manager. Smoky aromas of grilled bacon, as well as manuka honey and oak spices. Tasting notes are nutty, combined with a blend of toffee and cinnamon on the nose.
