Was able to try this “unicorn” at Delilah’s bar at Chicago a month ago.
I can testify that this one lives to the hype! It is just FREAKING AWESOME! I gave Laphroaig Brodir 5 stars, so to make this one justice I should be able to give it at least 6 stars!
Like Brodir, peat and red fruits play the main role here, but as long as they were kind of melted together in Brodir, in this one each note can be picked individually very clearly, really sharp. It seems almost like magic!
For me the best of the night, no doubt, closely followed by the Kilchoman Delilah’s /Jack Rose finished in Sauternes that is not listed in the app, also a 5 stars.

Damn I have yet to try any Cairdeas...just don't get them down this neck of the woods and no MoM samples around either. Good review :-)
@PBMichiganWolverine Not bad AT ALL! ;-)
@AntonioSchmid my favorite Cairdeas. Considering how rare this is now, $15 is not bad.
