Voor wie als FOL in aanmerking wil komen voor de Laphroaig Feis Ile botteling van dit jaar, het wordt weer loten
:
I know this is probably the most anticipated email from me in the year. This year we have a really unique Cairdeas.
Cairdeas 2016 Madeira edition.Most of you will remember one of our most popular Cairdeas ever, the 2013 Port Wood. So, this year we decided to match this with Portugal's other famous fortified wine from the island of Madeira. Our 2016 bottling features Laphroaig classically matured in American oak for its first maturation, married together for a second maturation in the larger Madeira-seasoned, traditional hogsheads.
Tasting NotesOn the nose you'll find an aroma of ripe orange fruits and sweet liquorice that mixes delightfully with our traditional peat smoke. On the palate our classic peaty, earthy flavours emerge with a hint of saltiness. Creamy orange tones follow and with a bold and lingering spicy dryness and nutty finish. The result is a fabulous expression to be savoured by Friends of Laphroaig, old and new. This 2016 Cairdeas has been bottled at 51.6% ABV and is non chill filtered.
This Cairdeas will be sold by Ballot.As last year, due to overwhelming demand by the Friends for this limited edition, the only fair way to sell this Cairdeas is by ballot. Anyone who wants the chance to buy a bottle can enter the ballot, we will then draw names at random.
You have until midday GMT on the Thursday 9th June 2016 to register. If you have been selected in the ballot, you will hear from us by Friday 10th June.
Any bottles that remain following the ballot will be sold in our online shop on a first come first served basis.
I really hope you enjoy this year's Cairdeas as much as I do. We call it "friendship distilled".
Lappies op 40-43-46% smaken toch een klap minder dan vanaf 48%.
