The Fèis Ìle 2018 release from Laphroaig was another instalment of the Cairdeas series (it's kind of pronounced like "car-chase"). For this expression, the intense Islay single malt was given a finishing period in Fino sherry casks.
This bottle was part of a private collection - if you'd like more detailed photos just get in touch!
Burnt grass, almond butter, toasted teacakes and medicinal peat.
Nectarines and apricots arrive first, shortly followed burnt caramel and flamed orange peel. Another whiff of heavy peat and savoury oak.
Baked earth, iodine, honey, peaches and cream boiled sweeties.
