This bottle has renewed my faith in Laphroaig. Best one I’ve had from this distillery since the 2015 Cairdeas.

Big dog and I ran out within an hour after hearing your review, and got a bottle of this fantastic scotch. Go Laphroaig! Our 1st impressions were of Autumn leaves with morning dew on them. Earthy, then the dark sweetness of citrus fruits, finishing with that tang of briny marsh land. And what an alcohol kick! Tasty!

The black shirt, black beard and black hat is definitely Bart's look. But he needs "Feel lucky punk? Make my day" gravely whisky voice attitude to go along with it. I'm surprised Bart said Bunnhabhain because they are rarely heavily peated. I'm sure it definitely has a southern Islay profile. The bottle is still available out there on the interwebs for $79.50 but you may want to hurry 'cuz I'm sure it will sell fast. I just bought a bottle. It was $100 with tax and shipping.

If I recall the Laphroaig Shootout you did a few years ago the Triple Wood was Scott's favorite. I didn't re watch the shootout and all I recall for sure was the threat of a possible throat punch. We attended a Friends of Laphroaig dinner this year with a brand ambassador who said this Cairdeas was the Triple Wood at cask strength. Similar to the Laphroaig 10 CS, the back of the can recommends adding twice the amount of water to the whisky. That seems like a lot, 2-1 ratio of water to whisky, haven't tried it myself in that ratio. I was able to get two bottles of this release at the dinner which are now safely tucked away in the bunker. Great review guys!

Haven't tried this yet due to the mixed reviews: Rob (whiskey in the 6) and Jeremy (sippers social club) weren't too impressed with it and preferred the Laphroaig CS batch 011. But you guys and Liquor Hound really like it... what to do??? I have 3 bottles of the Laphroaig CS batch 011 (it's fantastic!) So maybe I can trade one for this 3 Wood... I did enjoy the regular Laphroaig 3 Wood when it came out a couple years ago. Great review as always... love the blinds!!! Cheers Dummies!!! P.S. Bart, take some voice lessons before it's too late! You need to conserve that TEST IITTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Iodine and bandaid usually follow Laphroaig like a stray dog. I think there was a little of the medicinal to this but the high abv and sherry influence make it more subtle.

Gentlemen, after this review I went looking for it online and found it in state in multiple state stores here in PA. I found 6 bottles in one of the stores in my county on Sunday and by Tuesday it was gone. This the Scotch Test Dummy affect? There is a good ending, the state stores will transfer bottles from other state stores for a fee. So I was able to get 2 bottles at$80 per bottle.

Amber colour fair enough , but it tells you pretty much nothing since it's no mystery that Laphroaig adds artificial colouring. I think it's a shame and should be prohibited by law.
