About this bottle
This special edition single malt whisky from Laphroaig distillery is a unique variation on the classic Cairdeas expression. The whisky has been matured in American ex-bourbon and Spanish ex-oloroso sherry casks before being finished in Portuguese white port and Madeira casks for a further 4 weeks. The result is a whisky with a rich, sweet aroma and notes of dried fruit, spice and smoke.
How to drink Laphroaig Cairdeas White Port and Madeira
Neat, in a tulip glass, is the way to go — the fortified-wine finish adds sweetness that a splash of water would just dilute. A once-a-year Feis Ile release, better saved for slow sipping than mixing.

Questions about this bottle
What's the best way to serve Laphroaig Cairdeas White Port and Madeira?
Serve neat in a tulip glass, with a few drops of water if you like — Laphroaig's peat and smoke carry through cold or at room temperature, so ice isn't necessary and tends to mute the finish.
How is this Cairdeas edition finished?
It's matured in ex-bourbon and ex-oloroso sherry casks, then finished in white port and Madeira casks, layering dried-fruit sweetness over Laphroaig's usual smoke.
What does "Cairdeas" mean?
It's Scottish Gaelic for "friendship" — Laphroaig releases a different Cairdeas expression most years, often tied to the Islay whisky festival Feis Ile.
