About

Laphroaig 1997 Cairdeas is a distinguished single malt whisky hailing from the renowned Laphroaig distillery located on the rugged Isle of Islay, Scotland. This expression, aged for 12 years, showcases the distillery's commitment to traditional production methods and rich heritage. On the palate, it delivers intense flavors of smoky peat and sea salt, complemented by notes of dried fruits and a hint of vanilla. The whisky is bottled at a robust 57.50% ABV, providing a full-bodied experience that lingers with a warm, smoky finish. Aged in a mix of ex-bourbon and sherry casks, this Cairdeas edition offers a harmonious balance of sweetness and earthiness, characteristic of Laphroaig's signature style.
