Laphroaig Cairdeas 200th Anniversary - Fèis Ìle 2015 Whisky

I bought a few bottles of Laphroaig at the 2015 festival and this was one of them. I am considering selling as the price is looking quite favourable. However after reading these comments I may just crack it open at Christmas now.

I managed to get a case of this when released.
As I've sampled well over 350 different Single Malts, I can say that this bottle is in my top 2 of all time faves, with a Glendronach Single Barrel sharing the plateau.
The 200th Anniversary Cairdeas is everything you could ever want in an Islay Malt.
Peat, Barbecue, Bacon Fat, Brine, Herbal, Floral, Oily.
This price is not too high, and I say this....If you offered me triple for the one I have left, I would offer you some salt to pound!

I bought a bottle for $60 and have kept it stored since then, $267? I'll gladly sell mine for $200!😂

Love this distilleries whisky. The Cairdeas 15 return was most welcome. I'm a huge fan and am still enjoying the few drams left from the festival of 2017

I ordered a bottle of the 2016 from my local liquor store, and they delivered the 2015 instead. I tried it. I should first say that I've been drinking Laphroaig since 1972, when I was finally old enough to appreciate a single malt scotch. So, as I said, I tasted it. I was initially appalled. Then it began to change in my mouth, and in the glass. The aroma took on the distinct character of caramel and a sweetness I can't describe, while the flavor became a robust floral explosion with the least amount of peat that I've even tasted in a Laphroaig. I'm sure glad that i got the wrong bottling. The very next day I bought another bottle, which, as it turned out, was the last one left in my entire State.

A special Islay. Big fan of peated scotch. Laphroaig is exquisite! Until you taste it you don't know what you're missing. So go ahead and TASTE IT!

Name a flavor and you'll find it! I'm a Laphroaig man for life.

Fantastic Laphroaig it is a shame that the price is so high right now. Excellent 200 anniversary bottling.

FIRST OF ALL THE PRICE LISTED ABOVE IS WRONG,,,, I paid less than $60 in Austin for this !!! I was so lucky to snag a bottle before New Year's Eve! I was able to tour laphroaig earlier in December. It was amazing to see the floor malting, and big peat fires that flavor this wonderful wisky. If it is on your BUCKET LIST to go to Islay ,,,,,,GO !! It is truly a magical place. Think,,, NAPA VALLEY OF SCOTCH WISKY. !!

First off, I know this is a NAS, but there are plenty of places out there that you can find out that this guys is just shy of 12 years.

This is only my second bottle of Islay Scotch, and DANG. I'm sold. Huge, but not unbalanced, complex, and I found this dram to be rather...inquisitive.

Fun to know that the barley for this dram was hand malted at Laphroaig. To me that adds and extra element to the experience.

Slainte!
