Blind Tasting Competition Day 8: Laphroaig Cairdeas 2015, 200th Anniversary, 51.5%
So, a bit of a cool down after that Ailsa Bay. Anything cask strength would still be a cool down, more or less. I heard someone talk about this whisky on WhiskyCast a couple of months ago, and saying that … Continue reading

Another iteration of an Usquebaugh Regional Tasting
Every once in a while we do a regional tasting for Usquebaugh Society members. Today was another one themed ‘patience’. That boiled down to mostly bottles from a couple of years ago. In some cases that ‘couple’ is an understatement. … Continue reading

Laphroaig 15, 43%, 200th Anniversary Edition
It’s been ages since I properly sat down to taste some Laphroaig. It’s not even that there’s nothing available since Laphroaig is one of the couple Islay distilleries that regularly have indies bottled. You don’t have to look far to find … Continue reading

Laphroaig 1995, 17yo, 61.5%, Nurses and Doctors attend a Beach BBQ – SMWS (29.134)
Another wee drop of SMWS booze. Let’s hope this one is more to my liking than yesterday’s Highland Park. Laphroaig is a bit of a strange whisky. There’s quite a lot of independent bottlings out there, as well as an … Continue reading

Laphroaig 15, 1998-2013, 60.8% – Signatory Vintage for The Whisky Exchange
Apparently I was wrong about the amount of samples of bottlings for The Whisky Exchange I had lying around. The mistake was made when I only counted samples that TWE had sent me, instead of just all of them. This … Continue reading
