The Story
Laphroaig Cairdeas Lore Cask Strength 2025
Introducing the latest instalment of our much-loved Càirdeas series, Lore Cask Strength. Made by marrying five of our all-time favourite casks, each with its own story to tell, this is a cask-strength version of one of our best loved expressions, Cask Lore.
Cask Lore is a fan-favourite classic – and one of our most complex, layered flavour profiles. With this special version, our Friends can enjoy it just like our whisky makers do. As a limited-edition release, Càirdeas 2025 Lore Cask Strength is a must-try for any Friend of Laphroaig.
Antique gold color. Sweet, herbal, and boldly peaty. A superbly fruity expression with aromas of apricot, peaches in syrup, and lemon cream, combined with a hint of coconut and a vanilla fudge sweetness. A hint of freshly mown grass and tangy basil is also present, with a slight trace of tobacco and white pepper.
Opening with an extraordinary explosion of peat with a salty sea spray, followed by a peppery sparkle on the tongue. Notes of lemon zest, salted limes, and caramel dominate, leading on to more herbal notes of fresh mint and rich tea leaves in the background. Delicate spices emerge, including cumin, cloves, and ginger, whilst you encounter an almost antiseptic sensation on the palate. A long-lasting finish with a citrus sweetness and an everlasting, clove-like aftertaste.
