Feis Ile week on Islay, the bustle and excitement are part of what makes it so special...along with the drams and music, of course! However, if you need a break from the whisky trail then why not explore what else the island has to offer. Check out https://islayencounters.co.uk/ to find a selection of nature orientated tours. Maybe you would like a morning tour of the south coast and then be dropped off at one of the local distillery open days...pick up also available. I can do bespoke options, so please give me a call and see how a tour could fit in with your Festival plans. Slainte!

As you may already know, Càirdeas is Gaelic for Friendship. And that's something we hold close to our hearts here at Laphroaig. ​
​
With International Friendship Day just around the corner, we sought out Team Leader Kimble, who also happens to be our biggest Càirdeas fan, to find out what he thinks of this year's edition. ​
​
"I’ve been a fan of Càirdeas since this first edition, but this year’s is something else. It's very typically Laphroaig, a real solid dram, with a deep-well balanced taste that's very easy to drink." ​
​
Don't just take Kimble's word for it though, shop our latest Càirdeas 2022 Warehouse 1 edition here:​ https://bit.ly/3zaVuW9
​
Kimble has been with us for 15 years, working in the still-house, mash-house and maltbarns, so it's fair to say he knows his whisky. And in the words of Barry, "his nickname on the site is Naughty, I think that tells you everything you need to know about him."
