LaphroaigCairdeas Feis Ile 2017

Laphroaig Cairdeas Feis Ile 2017 is a special release from the renowned Islay distillery, crafted to celebrate the annual Feis Ile festival. This expression is known for its distinctive peaty character, a hallmark of Laphroaig whiskies, combined with a unique maturation process that adds depth and complexity. The whisky is aged in first-fill bourbon barrels and finished in Madeira casks, which imparts a rich and nuanced flavor profile to the spirit.

On the nose, this whisky offers a robust aroma of peat smoke intertwined with sweet notes of dried fruits and a hint of maritime brine. The palate is a harmonious blend of smoky peat, sweet malt, and the rich, fruity influence of the Madeira casks. The finish is long and warming, with lingering notes of smoke and a touch of sweetness that leaves a lasting impression.

This single malt is a testament to Laphroaig's craftsmanship and their ability to create complex, well-balanced whiskies. It is an excellent choice for both seasoned whisky enthusiasts and those new to the world of peated whiskies, offering a memorable tasting experience that captures the essence of Islay.
