LaphroaigCàirdeas Pedro Ximenez Casks

Laphroaig Càirdeas Pedro Ximenez Casks is an Islay single malt bottled at cask strength, so it delivers a powerful, full-flavoured style. It combines the distillery’s well-known heavily peated character with the richer influence associated with Pedro Ximenez sherry-seasoned wood.

For a novice drinker, expect bold smoke first, followed by sweeter, darker notes that can make the whisky feel rounder and richer than a purely bourbon-cask style. The high ABV means it may open up with a little water.
