Laphroaig Càirdeas 2019 Triple Wood Cask Strength

Nose - definitely smelling the wood on top of the peat Palate - strong wood and peat but also getting some sherry or meat flavors Finish - starts off full and coating then a little sharp and tapers off with great flavor and a smoky after taste that lingers - one of the best finishes I’ve had Overall - upgrade for me over standard laphroaig for the darker/wood tones plus the finish - this is great

Bright aroma, touch of winey sweetness, like sherry. Flavor is incredibly intense, probably carried by the proof. Good depth and complexity, but the flavors burn a little bright. Smoke and vanilla ride the proof well but a touch too powerful to appreciate fully.

Nice sherry and smoke balance with notes of smoke, dark chocolate, raisins, oranges, cinnamon, Hazlenuts, and figs. Prefer the PX Cairdeas to this one.

Nose: Sweetly fruity, smoke, touch grainy, copper and herbal. Palate: Fruity, charred and smoky, Banana’s Foster and some malt. Finish: Long -> Dried strawberries, leather and char.

Blind tasting Nose: smoky peat Taste: heavy peat, perhaps cask strength, medicinal notes stronger in the aftertaste, sherried or port notes. The finish is a bit harsh/medicinal to my preference. Some water mellows it out a bit and improves the balance of elements Wood: port Distillery? Laphroaig

Definitely notice the sherry. Less smoke than the 17 or 18. Like a whisky pretending to be a Manhattan. Really good

Nose: barbecue sauce, caramel Palate: more sweet and smoky barbecue sauce. Brine/minerality in the background Finish: long, smoky, sticky Full, rich, and exceptionally smooth for something cask strength.
