Exclusive California Availability – Enjoy in-store pickup at our Santa Rosa location or statewide shipping.

Crafted for whisky connoisseurs, Laphroaig’s 2023 Càirdeas release is a masterful blend of rare cask finishes. This limited-edition single malt unites the rich, smoky depth of second-fill Madeira casks (75%) with the vibrant fruitiness of first-fill White Port casks (25%). The result? A bold yet balanced Islay Scotch that celebrates Laphroaig’s iconic peaty character with layered complexity.

Tasting Notes:
– Nose: Warm cinnamon, zesty ginger, and crisp green apple intertwine with toasted peaches, charred citrus, and caramelized sweetness—hinted by distant bonfire smoke.
– Palate: Luxurious honeyed citrus meets hazelnut elegance, dark cocoa, and oak tannins, evolving into Laphroaig’s signature medicinal peat and earthy smoke.
– Finish: Long and silky, with lingering phenolic creosote, maritime salt, and a whisper of sweet oak.

Bottled at 52.3% ABV for uncompromising flavor intensity, this expression is a tribute to camaraderie—perfect for collectors and peat lovers seeking a nuanced twist on classic Islay whisky.

Note: Available exclusively for California residents. Select in-store pickup or secure delivery within the state.
