Tasting Notes

Laphroaig Càirdeas 12 Year Old - Fèis Ìle 2009 is a remarkable single malt whisky that captures the essence of Islay's rugged beauty. Aged for 12 years in Maker's Mark bourbon barrels, this limited-edition release boasts a captivating blend of smoky peat and rich oak flavors. The marriage of Laphroaig's signature peat character and the sweet vanilla notes imparted by the bourbon barrels creates a harmonious symphony of flavors. On the nose, you'll be greeted by a tantalizing aroma of iodine, seaweed, and a hint of citrus zest, setting the stage for a truly memorable tasting experience. The palate is a delightful dance of smoky peat, honey, and a touch of sea salt, with a long, lingering finish that leaves a pleasant warmth in its wake. This collectible gem, crafted under the watchful eye of distillery manager John Campbell, is a true testament to Laphroaig's commitment to excellence and a must-have for whisky enthusiasts and connoisseurs alike.
