LaphroaigCairdeas Fino Cask

Laphroaig Cairdeas Fino Cask is a single malt Scotch whisky that showcases the distillery's signature peaty character, enhanced by the unique influence of Fino sherry casks. This expression is part of the annual Cairdeas series, which means 'friendship' in Gaelic, and is crafted to celebrate the bond between the distillery and its loyal followers. The Fino cask maturation imparts a distinctive dry and nutty profile, adding a new dimension to the traditional Laphroaig smokiness.

On the nose, this whisky presents a complex bouquet of maritime aromas, mingling with the dry, crisp notes of Fino sherry. The palate is a harmonious blend of Laphroaig's characteristic peat smoke, balanced by the subtle sweetness and nuttiness from the sherry casks. This interplay of flavors creates a rich and layered tasting experience that is both familiar and intriguingly different.

The finish is long and satisfying, with the peat smoke gradually giving way to lingering notes of oak and a hint of salinity. This whisky is a testament to Laphroaig's ability to innovate while staying true to its roots, making it a must-try for both seasoned enthusiasts and those new to the world of peated Scotch whisky.
