Càirdeas 2022 Warehouse 1 Whisky
MORE FLAVOUR FOR OUR FRIENDS
Our Càirdeas expression for 2022 was created especially for Friends of Laphroaig® to give them more of what they love. This limited edition single malt whisky, aged in first-fill Maker’s Mark Bourbon barrels, dials up quintessential Laphroaig® taste. Classic flavours are elevated by a coastal character that can only come from sea spray and storms. It’s a match made in Islay. Warehouse 1’s rare four-storey construction, fluctuating temperature, and exposure to rugged conditions tease out enigmatic flavours and a maritime quality. While traditional distilling, careful cask selection and patience deliver renowned flavours. Laphroaig® Càirdeas 2022 is bottled at a fixed strength of 52.2% for a memorable experience to share with Friends.
