Laphroaig Cairdeas Feis Ile 2008

Born on the windswept south coast of Islay, Laphroaig distillery was established in 1815, its name echoing the ‘broad hollow by the bay’ where it stands. This 2008 Cairdeas bottling, created for the Feis Ile festival, showcases Laphroaig at cask strength – a particularly rare expression of this iconic single malt. Expect an intensely peaty and smoky experience, rich with flavour and characteristic of Islay’s boldest whiskies. A testament to tradition, Laphroaig remains one of the last distilleries to employ its own floor maltings, contributing to its uniquely robust profile, a spirit once deemed medicinal for its potency.
