Meaning friendship in Gaelic, Cairdeas has been selected from specially selected casks including a 17yr old vintage to celebrate the "friends of laphroaig" worldwide. Believed to be only 7000 bottles to be shared amongst the growing army of over 300,000 friends, these were soon snapped up in a matter of days of being released.

Inside in each tube there are tasting notes and a unique number which entitles the owner of this bottle to become a friend of laphroaig. When this number is registered on the laphroaig website you will be given a numbered plot (one square foot) of their land that runs along the distilleries water supply, the Kilbride stream.
