Founded in 1815 by Donald and Alexander Johnston, Laphroaig is renowned for its uncompromisingly smoky flavor profile. Located on the rugged coast of Islay, Scotland, it remains one of the few distilleries to still use its own hand-turned floor maltings.
Crafted at the historic Laphroaig Distillery on the south coast of Islay, this annual Cairdeas release celebrates friendship and traditional island distilling. It showcases the distillery's unique cold-smoked barley and seaside warehouse maturation.
