In the lexicon of whisky, Laphroaig stands as a paragon of complexity and nuance, and its latest offering, Laphroaig Càirdeas White Port & Madeira Scotch, is no exception. Assembled from the finest elements of past Càirdeas releases, this limited-edition single malt celebrates the art of blending.

Seamlessly integrating Madeira and White Port casks, it presents a distinctive symphony of flavors that bridges the Islay distillery’s legendary smokiness with fruit-forward exuberance.

The term "Càirdeas" signifies friendship in Gaelic
