Laphroaig Càirdeas Port Wood - Fèis Ìle 2013
A limited edition port finished Laphroaig release for Fèis Ìle 2013, the Islay whisky festival. Initially matured in bourbon casks, this single malt scotch Whisky has an incredible pink hue. Cairdeas, meanwhile, is the Gaelic for 'friendship' and can be pronounced more-or-less “car-chase”.
This bottle was part of a private collection - if you'd like more detailed info and/or photos just get in touch!
Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt
Nose
A wisp of Laphroaig smoke is hiding amongst sliced blood oranges, grapefruit, raspberry bushes and a hint of pot pourri. Clotted cream and lemon zest develop.
Palate
Blackcurrants and sweet marmalade with more savoury pepper notes.
Finish
Fruity and drying.
Overall
Pink Laphroaig!
