Laphroaig Cairdeas 2021 ("Càirdeas" means "friendship" in Gaelic) is a limited-edition single malt Scotch whisky for Laphroaig fans. This smoky Islay Laphroaig Cairdeas 2021 Pedro Ximenez Casks Single Malt Scotch Whisky gets a unique twist from a triple maturation process, including a finish in Pedro Ximenez sherry casks, known for their sweetness and raisin notes.

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.
