The Càirdeas expression for 2022 was created especially for Friends of Laphroaig. This limited edition single malt whisky was aged in first-fill Maker’s Mark Bourbon barrels and the classic Laphroaig flavours are elevated further with a distinctive coastal character reminding one of sea spray and storms. Warehouse 1’s rare four-storey construction, fluctuating temperature, and exposure to rugged conditions bring out enigmatic flavours and a maritime quality. Càirdeas 2022 is bottled at a strength of 52.2%. ("Producer's Notes)
Rated 86 Points by Whiskyfun. "Comments from Whiskyfun: simple, probably quite young and certainly humble. But at the same time this is excellent core distillate that still possesses quite a definite distillery character. The kind of juice you could easily guzzle on a summer evening on Islay, while simultaneously applying it to your bare skin in an attempt to fend off the midgies."
