Description
Laphroaig is known for its bold and peaty character. The Cairdeas 2021 adds another layer of complexity with the Pedro Ximenez cask finish. Here’s a potential breakdown of the taste profile:
Classic Laphroaig
Expect the signature Islay peat smoke to be prominent, with notes of seaweed, iodine, and a touch of medicinal character.
Pedro Ximenez Influence
The sherry cask finish should introduce sweetness like raisins, prunes, and maybe even a hint of honey. This sweetness can help balance the smokiness of the Laphroaig.
Underlying Malty Notes
Hints of biscuit, bread dough, and maybe even a touch of vanilla can peek through from the malt and initial bourbon barrel aging.
