Tasting
How it drinks
Sight
Deep amber with reddish highlights from PX cask influence; full-bodied legs
Nose
Striking combination — intense PX sweetness (raisin, date, fig, molasses) collides with Laphroaig medicinal peat. Dark chocolate, prune, smoke, iodine, and salted caramel. The sweetest Laphroaig nose by far
Palate
Remarkable fusion of extremes. Ultra-sweet PX notes (treacle, date syrup, raisin, Christmas pudding) wrapped around the core Laphroaig medicinal peat. Dark chocolate, espresso, smoked bacon, and sea salt. Rich and almost dessert-like, yet the peat always anchors it
Finish
Long, sweet, and smoky finish. PX sweetness and medicinal peat alternate in waves. Ends with dark chocolate, salted caramel, and iodine. The annual Cairdeas release is eagerly awaited by the Friends of Laphroaig community
