Friends of Laphroaig exclusive

The Càirdeas Triple Wood Cask Strength is a special triple maturation, first matured in ex-bourbon barrels, then in quarter casks and finally in European oak casks which previously held oloroso sherry. It is then barrier filtered and bottled at cask strength to create a punchy dram with Laphroaig’s signature richness of flavour and smoky taste. We recommend you add twice as much water as whisky to enjoy this punchy dram 

 

Friends Only

On Islay there is a saying; We don't make friends easily but the ones we do are for life. Launched in 1994, Friends of Laphroaig are fans, friends and followers of our distillery from all over the world. Never short of an opinion or two they help Laphroaig explore new expressions, attend tastings and sometimes even visit the distillery at Laphroaig’s home on Islay. To reward the loyalty of its following, each year we launch exclusive bottlings within the Càirdeas series. 

Càirdeas means ‘friendship’ in Gaelic and, each year, a limited-edition bottling is crafted by distillery manager and fifth generation Islay native, John Campbell, available exclusively to Friends of Laphroaig.

As part of your purchase, you will receive your bottles in a exquisite well-protected carboard where your favorite expressions of Laphroaig will be safe. You will only find this exclusively packaging in Laphroaig.com.

MAKE YOUR BOTTLE AS BOLD AS OUR FLAVOUR

Bold, unique, and uncompromising: A bottle of Laphroaig is a truly thoughtful gift. Now, it can be all those things plus a little more. With our new bottle engraving and gift wrapping, the gift of Laphroaig has leveled up. These new features are exclusively available on our site, and just in time for the holidays. Say sláinte with Laphroaig, and so much more with the bottle.

WRAP YOUR LAPHROAIG WITH LOVE

When it comes to giving, no perfect gift is complete without thoughtful wrapping to match. We’re excited to introduce special gift wrapping and a personalized card, available for any bottle of Laphroaig purchased on our site. Whether wrapping is a wee bit tough for you, or you simply want to make the moment more memorable, your Laphroaig is wrapped with passion and precision, and a completely unique paper to boot.

LAPHROAIG THAT LASTS A LIFETIME

We would never expect a bottle of Laphroaig to last a long time. It’s a wee bit too tasty. But with our new bottle engraving, you can add a message that lasts forever. From important dates to inside jokes, or even a simple “I love you,” a special message on your bottle is as meaningful as the spirit itself. So even after the good stuff is gone, you’ll have a sentiment that outlasts the Scotch.
