Càirdeas 2022 Warehouse 1 Whisky

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

MORE FLAVOUR FOR OUR FRIENDS​

Our Càirdeas 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 Maker’s Mark Bourbon barrels, dials up quintessential Laphroaig® taste. Classic flavours are elevated by a coastal character that can only come from sea spray and storms. It’s a match made in Islay.​ ​ Warehouse 1’s rare four-storey construction, fluctuating temperature, and exposure to rugged conditions tease out enigmatic flavours and a maritime quality. While traditional distilling, careful cask selection and patience deliver renowned flavours.​ ​ Laphroaig® Càirdeas 2022 is bottled at a fixed strength of 52.2% for a memorable experience to share with Friends.
