Tasting Notes

Laphroaig Càirdeas Port Wood - Fèis Ìle 2013 is a truly special release that embodies the spirit of friendship and celebration. This single malt Scotch whisky boasts a mesmerizing pink hue, courtesy of its finishing in Port casks after initial maturation in bourbon barrels. The nose invites you into a delightful array of aromas, with a wisp of Laphroaig's signature smoke intertwined with sliced blood oranges, grapefruit, raspberry bushes, and a hint of potpourri. As you take a sip, your palate is greeted by the sweet and tangy flavors of blackcurrants and marmalade, complemented by savory notes of pepper. The finish is fruity and drying, leaving you with a lingering desire for another dram. This limited edition whisky is a true embodiment of the Islay whisky festival, Fèis Ìle, and a testament to the art of craftsmanship that Laphroaig has mastered over the years.
