Laphroaig 2022 Cairdeas Warehouse 1 Islay Scotch Whisky

Matured in our iconic warehouse a skipping stones throw from the Islay coast. For flavours of peat, smoke and sea salt that soar with a bitter maritime character. Friends only.

Our Cirdeas expression for 2022 was created especially for Friends of Laphroaig to give them more of what they love. This limited edition single malt whisky, aged in first-fill Makers Mark Bourbon barrels, dials up the quintessential Laphroaig taste. Classic flavors are elevated by a coastal character that can only come from sea spray and storms. Its a match made in Islay. Warehouse 1s rare four-story construction, fluctuating temperature, and exposure to rugged conditions tease out enigmatic flavors and maritime quality. While traditional distilling, careful cask selection, and patience deliver renowned flavors. Laphroaig Cirdeas 2022 is bottled at a fixed strength of 52.2% for a memorable experience to share with Friends.
