laphroaig 2022 cairdeas islay single malt scotch whisky

From a storm-lashed island off the west coast of Scotland comes Laphroaig, a Gaelic word meaning ‘beautiful hollow by the broad bay’. Since 1815, when the distillery was officially founded on Islay, a small team of islanders have combined ancient skills, a dedication to quality and the mystical, peaty water of the Kilbride Stream to create what is considered to be the most distinctive single malt in the world. Laphroaig is an acquired taste for some, an essential taste for many – and for those who embrace it, a friend for life.
