Laphroaig Cairdeas Lore is a cask strength Islay single malt, bottled at 59.6% ABV in a 70cl bottle and not chill-filtered. Cairdeas is Gaelic for friendship, and the releases are tied to Fèis Ìle, the Islay festival. It marries five casks of single malt that matured in ex-bourbon, European oak and Oloroso sherry barrels, along with quarter casks. The colour is antique gold. The nose is sweet, herbal and boldly peaty, with apricot, peaches in syrup, lemon cream, coconut and vanilla fudge. The palate opens with peat and salty sea spray, then pepper, lemon zest, salted limes and caramel. The finish is long, with citrus sweetness and a lasting phenolic note.

About Glenbotal

The idea of Glenbotal came to us naturally: as whisky lovers, we were always on the lookout for new experiences in the whisky world. That’s why we created Glenbotal and became our very own first customers. We buy unique and hard to find spirits from ballots and private collections. Then, we share them with a small circle of friends and people who can appreciate a good dram.
