Cask-strength Islay smoke meets sweet first-fill bourbon oak
This limited-edition Islay single malt is aged exclusively in first-fill Maker's Mark bourbon casks and matured within Laphroaig's historic Warehouse 1. It delivers the perfect marriage of sweet vanilla custard notes and the distillery's signature heavy peat smoke.
Shake the blended Scotch, lemon juice, and syrup with ice, then strain into a rocks glass with a large ice cube. Float the peated Laphroaig Cairdeas on top using the back of a bar spoon.
Serve in a glencairn glass
Laphroaig was founded in 1815 by brothers Donald and Alexander Johnston on the south coast of Islay. Over two centuries later, the distillery remains an icon of peated whisky, celebrated globally for its uncompromising smoky and medicinal character.
Whiskey distilled on the rugged shores of Islay by Laphroaig Distillery & Rickhouse, renowned for its iodine-rich peat and traditional floor maltings. Cairdeas, meaning 'friendship' in Gaelic, is an annual release crafted to celebrate the Friends of Laphroaig community.
