“Because you can't buy happiness... but you can buy whisky and that's pretty much the same thing”

Laphroaig Cairdeas 2014 Edition Review

By Miguel in Tasting , Laphroaig

Perhaps the most sought after edition of the Feis Ile whiskies ( if you ignore Ardbeg )… I just hope it keeps as it is right now below the collectors’ radar.

“Wonderful Laphroaig... I should have buy more bottles of this”

Laphroaig Cairdeas 2014 Edition
This year's Cairdeas release ("Cairdeas", pronounced 'car-chase', means 'friendship' in Gaelic) was matured in bourbon barrels and Amontillado hogsheads.
Created by Laphroaig Master Distiller John Campbell, it's bottled at 51.4% abv.

This dram has a amber-like color.

Nose (90): more than average. peat, honey, citrus, wood, spices, cinnamon, apples.

Palate (91): powerful, oily. honey, peat, earth, citrus, fruits, spices, pepper, cinnamon, salt, iodine.

Finish (91): longer than average. peat, honey, salt.

So based on other whiskies I have already tasted I rate this Laphroaig Cairdeas 2014 Edition with 91 points over 100.

If last year FOL whisky was fantastic this year is really there too. A quite good whisky and still priced for people that actually drink the stuff! Thanks Laphroaig!
