LAPHROAIG CAIRDEAS FEIS ILE 2017 QUARTER CASK ISLAY SINGLE MALT
LAPHROAIG CAIRDEAS FEIS ILE 2017 QUARTER CASK
Founded in 1815, and often considered to be the whisky equivalent of Marmite (in that you either love it or hate it), Laphroaig is a smoky, medicinal tasting whisky from the south coast of Islay. Clearly more people fall into the “love” category though, as Laphroaig is one of the top ten best selling single malts in the world. Just as well, then, that it is the second largest distillery on the island (after Caol Ila), capable of producing 3.4 million litres of spirit per annum.
The distillery still retains its own malting floor, and although it only covers 20% of their requirements, it is instrumental in providing the creosote-y, phenolic character that defines the Laphroaig spirit.
This Festival edition has been aged in small Quarter casks in order to maximize wood contact with the spirit.
57.2% ABV / 70cl
