The famously peaty Scotch whisky model Laphroaig, owned by Beam Suntory, has introduced its annual launch of Laphroaig Càirdeas version: Laphroaig Càirdeas 2022 Warehouse 1.
This launch takes its title from Laphroaig’s Warehouse 1, which has stood for practically 200 years. The four-story, seaside warehouse helps present the model’s trademark maritime traits.
Laphroaig Càirdeas 2022 Warehouse 1 matured in first-fill Maker’s Mark bourbon casks, and aged in Laphroaig’s warehouse, leading to conventional notes of peat, smoke and salt.
On the nostril is peaty, candy and nutty notes of peat smoke, medicinal bandages, Germolene, iodine and antiseptic cream, the corporate experiences, together with vanilla cake, fudge, heather honey and golden syrup, walnuts, nutmeg with a contact of floral perfume. The palate brings peat , tar and ashy notes, but additionally the sweetness of Manuka honey, burnt toffee, liquorice, oak spices and tannins, white pepper, dried herbs and dried flowers. The end is peaty and carbolic with natural and spicy notes resulting in a floral aftertaste.
The discharge of this limited-edition bottling from the Laphroaig Càirdeas collection was developed by former Distillery Supervisor John Campbell (now retired), with newly appointed Laphroaig Distillery Supervisor Barry MacAffer now taking the reins.
