About Laphroaig Càirdeas 2022 Warehouse 1 Single Malt Scotch Whisky
The annual Càirdeas release pays its respects to the dynamics of a true friendship. By considering the relationships that emphasize our best qualities, Laphroaig combined the ex-Maker’s Mark bourbon barrels, responsible for producing that famous and well-known whisky taste with the distinct sea atmosphere, teeming with gust storms and salty air. The relationship between the two notably elevates the classic Laphroaig character, infusing their quintessential smokey and peaty flavors with a briny coastal quality.
Aged in the iconic four-story Warehouse 1 and bottled at a fixed strength of 52.2% ABV, this single malt Scotch whisky will absolutely deliver on its peaty and smokey promise.

About Laphroaig
Situated on the southern coast of Islay, Laphroaig (pronounced La-froyg) Distillery was founded nearly two centuries ago by Donald and Alexander Johnston. The distillery derives its name from the ancient Gaelic word "lag"(meaning hollow) and the ancient Norse word "vik"(meaning bay), which refers to its location on the shores of Loch Laphroaig.
In 1836, Donald Johnston offered his brother £350 for his interests the distillery, and ultimately became the sole proprietor of Laphroaig Distillery. For over a century, the distillery would remain in the hands of one of Johnston's descendants. In 1954, however, Ian Hunter passed away childless and bequeathed the distillery to Bessie Williamson, a secretary that had been working at the distillery for two decades. Hunter was incredibly protective of the distillery — while he slowly revealed its secrets to Williamson after she had earned his trust, Hunter prevented a cooper who was employed at the distillery from publishing his memoirs because they described the workings of the distillery in too great a detail.
Scotch is the most popular whisky in the world and is considered the king of them all! There are five whisky regions in Scotland (six if you count the not officially recognized Islands), and each of them produces spirits with unique properties and distinct tasting notes. (The type of grain used determents the type of the scotch.)
Malt whisky is made of malted barley, and grain whisky uses other grains like corn or wheat. Most of the time, a whisky is blended from different distilleries hence the name blended scotch, but if a malt whisky is produced in a single distillery, we get something extraordinary called a single malt.
This pale gold single malt fills your nose with peaty, sweet, and nutty aromas, enriched by the medicinal notes and hints of apple, almond, walnuts, marzipan, toffee, dark fruit, and cinnamon. The palate offers you vibrant peaty and ashy aromas, balanced with Manuka honey, burnt toffee, apple, and oak spices, finishing on herbal and spicy notes and finally concluding the journey with a beautiful floral aftertaste.
