Laphroaig Càirdeas 2019 Triple Wood Cask Strength

I really enjoyed this - much better than the Triple Wood, the extra proof adds a lot to the experience. At $65 it’s a nice price performer as well - pick it up if you can find it.

I went to a peated whiskey tasting with amazing offerings such as Laphroaig 27, Ardbeg Traigh Bhan 19, and some rare bottling of Caol Ila(Over 40 peated malts total). In my humble opinion this was the very best whiskey that they had, save for Octomore 10.1. This is a stellar whiskey. It literally blew everything else away, including it's venerable older brother. Only an expertly crafted, unstoppable peat juggernaut could stand up to it. I left that tasting with a bottle of Octomore, only because I already had 3 bottles of this.

This is a mood. It’s a strong drink with a lot of personality and big opinions. Drink it when you have opinions and give zero fucks about what others think. Or in front of a fire, cuz smoke.

Campfire, strong peat but smooth, smokey. Would drink again when in need of a strong, reassuring drink

Very smokey, surprisingly smooth, stays warm, comfortable. A bit on the strong side.
