Laphroaig Cairdeas Warehouse 1 Scotch Whisky 2022 750mL

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

Our Cirdeas expression for 2022 reflects how Friends bring out more in each other. This limited-edition single malt, aged in first-fill ex-Makers Mark bourbon barrels, dials up our quintessential Laphroaig taste. Classic flavours are elevated by a coastal character that can only come from sea spray and storms. Its a match made in Islay.

Warehouse 1s rare four-storey construction, with varying levels of temperature and humidity, and exposure to rugged conditions tease out our enigmatic flavours and lend a maritime quality to the final whisky. Bottled at a fixed strength of 52.2% for a memorable experience to share with your Friends.
