Discover Friendship Cask #3 with George Campbell
Discover Friendship 3, the third and final release in the Friendship Series. Join Laphroaig Distillery Manager George Campbell as he shares the story behind this special expression, explores its distinctive tasting notes and reveals what makes this final chapter unmistakably Laphroaig.
Two Woods, One Cask
Friendship Cask #3 comes from Cask No. 823. It began in a bourbon cask in August 2013, then moved into an ex-sherry hogshead in September 2018 for the years that followed. Twelve years, shaped by two very different woods.
Mahogany in colour, with a depth that tells the story of both.
The Tasting Experience
Aroma. Fresh, fruity and floral - jasmine, sweet pea, peaches and cream, with smoke running through it all.
Taste. Smoke takes the lead on the palate, with fruit and floral notes in support and a hint of polished leather beneath.
Finish. Full-bodied with a slight dryness, and smoke that leaves the longest impression.
Exclusive to Friends
Friendship Cask #3 isn’t for everyone. It’s released by ballot to Friends of Laphroaig only - a single cask and once the last bottle goes, the series is complete.
New here? Joining takes minutes and opens the door to members-only whiskies and more.
