The Laphroaig Cairdeas Feis Ile 2019 Triple Wood is a remarkable single malt whisky with an ABV of 59.5% and a volume of 700ml. Created by the iconic Laphroaig distillery located on the southern coast of Islay, this special release was unveiled for the Feis Ile in May 2019. The name "Cairdeas," meaning "friendship" in Gaelic, highlights Laphroaig's tradition of crafting annual limited-edition bottles for their Friends of Laphroaig members. This particular edition is limited to 36,000 bottles and has undergone a meticulous triple maturation process. Initially aged in ex-bourbon barrels, it is then transferred to quarter casks before a final maturation in European oak casks that previously held Oloroso sherry. This triple maturation process imparts a unique flavor profile to the whisky, combining creamy notes of vanilla and fruit with the sherry's subtle sweetness, and the signature peatiness that Laphroaig is renowned for. Bottled at natural cask strength and non-chill filtered, it promises an unadulterated tasting experience. The Laphroaig Cairdeas Triple Wood Cask Strength is an exemplary representation of the distillery's commitment to quality and craftsmanship, making it a must-try for any whisky enthusiast. Founded in 1815, Laphroaig has a storied history and remains one of the most celebrated distilleries on Islay, known for its heavily-peated smoky single malt whiskies. This release continues to solidify Laphroaig's legacy, offering a complex and captivating whisky that stands out in the realm of Islay malts.

The Laphroaig Cairdeas Feis Ile 2019 Triple Wood is easily my favorite Laphroaig in a long time. The triple maturation process provides a harmonious blend of peat, sweetness, and fruit, all underscored by the sherry casks' influence. It manages to be both complex and approachable, making it a standout in Laphroaig's recent releases. Adding a bit of water opens it up beautifully, though it remains excellent neat. It's a phenomenal example of Laphroaig back in winning form.
