It's the 2020 edition of Laphroaig's annual Càirdeas (pronounced 'car-chase') release! This one marries whisky matured in second-fill Ruby Port barriques with whisky double matured in bourbon barrels followed by red wine casks, all bottled up at a hearty 52% ABV.
This bottle was part of a private collection - if you'd like more detailed photos just get in touch!
Aromas of dark chocolate and menthol with pink peppercorns open up to an extraordinarily complex flavour. Toasted peaches, charred marshmallows and a hint of plum jam intertwine with Laphroaig’s iodine rich peat smoke to create a limited edition that lingers long on the palate and the memory.
