Laphroaig Cairdeas Fino Cask Finish 2018 Release Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky Tasting Notes

Nose: Briny oysters open up a familiarly Laphroaig nose, with campfire, sea salt, and peat, along with pumpkin seeds and prunes.

Palate: The palate begins with an ashy, salty profile, with black pepper, stewed fruits, toffee, and bitter Baker's chocolate, leading to a resinous back end with sugary dried fruits.

Finish: The finish is big and booming, with hefty doses of smoke and asphalt as well as peat and salt, and finally an underlying note of honeyed fruits.

Distillery Information
