Laphroaig Cairdeas

Has anyone tried this limited bottling for 2011 yet? Big Laphroaig fan here, and curious to see how it stacks up to the Laph 10yr, 18yr, Quarter Cask, and Cask Strength.

Laph 18yr and 10 yr Cask...

If you think Laga 16 is intense, try the Laga 12. Its cask...

ardbeg

[QUOTE=TheEtherMan;61850]That's the only Ardbeg that I like. I think the others that I've are too one dimensional. QUOTE]

I would agree with both the regular 10 yr and the Corryvrecken. But the...

My favorite Laphroaig is the Cask Strength 10 yr. Huge smoke, huge spice, huge everything. If you didnt like Laga 16 or Ardbeg Uig, you'll hate this one! It's a diesel locomotive of a Scotch!

Disclaimer upfront...islay fan here

Thanks thats very helpful! Makes sense, since the big Islays can overwhelm anything else. Get a good buzz going with a drink of something else, then build into it.

Do you warm up on lesser stuff before drinking the good stuff?

Still novice whisky drinker here, totally dedicated to Islay, and love the massive peat monsters like Ardbeg Uigeadail and Supernova 2010, Laphroaig Cask Strength, etc. Also like the basics like...

I haven't tried Lagavulin 12 yet, but if jwise thinks its like Uigeadail, I may have to give it a try. I love the Uig, and also the 2010 Supernova which is even bigger. Laphroiag Cask Strength is a...

U can't go wrong with Laphroaig 10 yr

Super strong and peaty, rich and smoky. $30 a bottle or so. Definitely the cheapest I've seen that gives the full authentic Islay experience. Good luck!

From another thread I posted this. Those who don't like Islay, close your eyes :-)

Quick rundown of Islay (South shore anyway, is there really anything else on Islay?):

Ardbeg 10 yr: disappointing, too...
