The Laphroaig Cairdeas Feis Ile 2013 Port Wood Finish is a special bottling released by the Laphroaig distillery as part of their annual Cairdeas series, which is Gaelic for 'friendship'. This expression was released specifically for members of the Friends of Laphroaig program.
The whisky in this bottle has been double matured in bourbon and port wood casks, resulting in a unique expression that balances Laphroaig's signature peat flavors with tangy citrus fruits and a floral finish. The distillery, located on the island of Islay, has a rich history dating back to 1815 when it was built by brothers Alexander and Donald Johnston.
Laphroaig has a capacity of over 3 million liters per year and is known for its heavily peated whiskies. The distillery has a substantial size with 7 stills. In the 20th century, the distillery saw a rise to fame when Donald's great-grandson Ian Hunter took over and later passed it on to his secretary, Bessie Williamson. Bessie retired in 1972 and the distillery was granted a Royal Warrant in 1994 from HRH The Prince of Wales. The Friends of Laphroaig program was founded in 1994 and has around 640,000 members to this day.
This particular bottling, the 2013 Feis Ile release, is a unique expression of Laphroaig's whisky that is sure to be enjoyed by both new and long-time friends of the distillery. It features a complex profile that showcases the distillery's characteristic peat smoke alongside the rich, fruity influence of the port wood casks.
The ABV (Alcohol by Volume) is 51.3%.
