Introducing the latest instalment of our much-loved Càirdeas series, Càirdeas 2026 French Oak.
Made by fully maturing our iconic Islay single malt in French Oak casks, this year's expression brings something new to a character our Friends know well. French Oak - traditionally used in wine and cognac production - adds a softer, more elegant depth to the bold, smoky heart of Laphroaig.
The result is something familiar yet entirely new. The peat and salt that make Laphroaig unmistakable, combined with the subtle complexity that only French Oak can bring.
As a limited-edition release, Càirdeas 2026 French Oak is available exclusively to Friends of Laphroaig.
