Laphroaig Càirdeas 200th Anniversary Edition
Single Malt — Islay, Scotland
Reviewed January 31, 2018 (edited May 9, 2018)Same as quarter cask but cask strength version. Nose: strong ethanol and similar underlying as quarter cask. Peaty and some sweet. Palate: again, similar with more of a burn. Sweet and peaty. Ashy finish on the throat. It is my 4th tasting. Couple drops of water sweetens it and cuts the burn on nose and palate. I like it and would buy. Maybe prefer the quarter cask though. 3 star -
Laphroaig Quarter Cask
Single Malt — Islay, Scotland
Reviewed January 31, 2018 (edited February 7, 2018)Nose: more vanilla and demurra sugar (bourbon). Oak. Slight brine. More peat than 10 and Select. Same sweetness as select, which I like. More of a burn than the others. Similar charred smoke. Much spicier taste and nose. 3.5. Would buy. This and select cask are my faves. Couple drops of water cuts the spice and burn on the nose/palate. Really good like this. Would buy this over select cask with a few drops of water.
