Laphroaig Cairdeas Madeira Cask Feis Ile 2016

Born on Islay’s rugged south coast in 1815, Laphroaig embodies the spirit of its ‘broad hollow by the bay’ home. This 2016 Feis Ile release – a first for the distillery – begins its life maturing in classic Bourbon casks before a finishing period in rich Madeira seasoned hogsheads. The result is a powerfully peated whisky, retaining Laphroaig’s signature smoky intensity, yet layered with notes of dried fruit and sweetness from the Madeira influence. Bottled at 51.6% ABV, this expression offers a complex and rewarding experience for those who appreciate a bold, Islay single malt.
