Each year our Distillery Manager, John Campbell, crafts a limited edition malt to celebrate the Friends of Laphroaig and friendship ("Cairdeas" in Gaelic).

Cairdeas 2020 is a marriage of fully matured second fill ruby port barriques and ex-bourbon barrels, finished in red wine casks.

Aromas of dark chocolate and menthol with pink peppercorns. Toasted peaches, charred marshmallows and a hit of plum jam, all intertwined with Lacphoraig's iodine rich peat smoke. Resulting in a combination of honey sweet taste and Laphroaig's signature medicinal smoke flavour.
