Just purchased a bottle to split with a buddy. We will open it tonight. The ABV on this release is lower than Last year’s release. This years release is also more expensive than the previous years. This is why I chose to split a bottle. I think you need to do a side by side with the standard 10. It may bring out the fruit a more. Love ya guys!!! Stay safe out there, Dummies. Duane get well soon!!! The whisky fabric is pulling for you!

Bart's Open never get's Old!! Mike

Hey Bart, I know to turn the volume down a wee bit at the start, but now you got me turning down the brightness 🔆 🔅 too... 😎

Tangerine color and angry chipmunks!! Can’t wait to taste I!

Great review guys👍🏻 Great dram, it is in my top 5 Cairdeas of them all😋

Hey Guys: Nice review as always. I loved the vivid description of the burning log and the burning barn. I also enjoyed that Scott got fruit notes on the second sip. I have a bottle of this that I tasted in a Zoom Tasting, from Islay and Brooklyn, with John Campbell and Simon Brookings, who lives a few blocks away from me in Brooklyn. I was also able to pick out fruit notes in the second and third sip. I have not done my own notes for this yet, but I will send them along when I do. Enjoyed hearing your thoughts as usual. Just finished grilling bluefish in an Apple Cider marinade with Ground cloves over roasted potatoes. Very Tasty. The apple notes and cloves mixed well with the oily taste of the bluefish. I know they have Striper in Ireland and Scotland, which is known there as Atlantic Bass. They may have Bluefish as well since it is on this side of the North Atlantic. I think I will pour some Càirdeas as an aperitif. Stay Safe and Stay Healthy!! SLÁINTE Mike

I guess it must be memories of my father screaming in my face that draws me to this channel... TESTTTT ITTTTTTT...!

Hey Guys, With water, I am getting a red wine dryness with a hint of red wine grape as well. The finish with water yields a spiciness with powdered coca mixed in. Mike

First, as a fellow Peat Head, sending well wishes to Duane. Get well brother. This new Cairdeas is available at my local for $84, about $10 more than last year's. So it's a pass for me so far. Still have an unopened Cairdeas Triple Wood... can't wait to crack that! Love Laphroaig... love the Peat....... and love me some Dummies!!! Cheers!!!

Bart, I couldn't agree more. Port finishes are often awesome, but combined with peat very few succeed with it. Never tried this myself though. Thanks for sharing :)

Great video dummies. Speedy recovery Duane. Aloha and God bless.

90 for me too. Really think you guys should bring in some tasting comparisons.

A dusty barn by the sea that’s been torched? Why isn’t that on the label??? 😁. Glad to see the Bart with the hunting manga shirt. No need for a bow or rifle, the deer die of shock/heart attack. This one sounds interesting. Pity they never have those for sale here.

I'm definitely looking forward to this bottle... My oPportunity to obtain one may happen on the 14th of nOvember at the BC Liquor Store annual Premium Spirits Release.

Test it!!!!!!!

Excited for this review 😁

Hello my dear friend! Cool video ! Very interesting Stay Connected!

I’m sad to see the commercials on your videos. Thanks for the review

Looking forward to trying it, but I think you guys are quite a bit off on the general price point. This year's release seems to be over $100 everywhere, and I've seen it up to $125; I think they were planning an increase on the price anyway, and then the tariff issues began. Great review!

Does Bart's shirt use AA or AAA batteries?

Hey Guys: Here is my complete tasting notes. Enjoyed a glass of Laphroaig Càirdeas 2020 Port and Wine Casks last night, here are my impressions LAPHROAIG Càirdeas 2020 Port and Wine Casks 11/7/20 NCF, 52% ABV, matured in second-fill Ruby Port ‘barriques’ along with whisky double matured in ex-Bourbon barrels followed by ex-red wine casks. (Laphroaig.com) Bottle is 1/2 full so air has mixed with the spirit COLOR: Medium Brown with a Reddish tint. Nice ring with legs running variously, with some beads. NOSE: Sweet Peat, Licorice and a hint of wine note. PALATE: Peat Smoke arrival with an Ashy sense. A black Licorice arises as I swirl. The mouthfeel is medium with a slight silkiness. A red grape arises as I continue to swirl it. Peat smoke continues to waft around along with a slight pepper. FINISH: Light pepper going down with pepper and a drying sense on my tongue which transitions to a mouthwatering sense with a licorice note lingering. With 1 drop of spring water NOSE: Light Licorice, Faint red wine note PALATE: Light pepper arrival a lighter Peat smoke arises as I swirl it around along with a light hot sauce note. Licorice also comes through as I swirl. The mouthfeel is similar to Neat. Some numbing in the walls of my mouth FINISH: Ashy Peat with a very drying sense, plus pepper tingling my throat and mouth. Again a licorice note resolves With 2 drops of Spring water NOSE: Light grape and Sweet Peat note mingled. Light Licorice rises late. PALATE: Licorice arrival transitioning to medium Peat smoke and pepper dancing on my tongue. Peat smoke intensifies as I swirl the spirit. FINISH: Sweet Licorice note mixed together with Peat smoke and Pepper with a sweet cream note in the end The finish with 2 drops of water was the highlight of this glass for me. A tasty combination of notes!! Air really opened this whiskey. The enjoyable Peat notes were still there but I also got red grape notes and a sweet cream note which nicely came out of left field. My earlier glasses of this whisky hinted at more complexity but now that air has mixed in, I find that the signature Laphroaig Peat Bomb, which I LOVE has backed off and allowed some of the other notes to come forward. Recommended!

Does this mean this is more of a double wood than a triple wood Cairdeas?! Great review Scott and Bart🥃🥃Cheers! And prayers to Duane 🙏🙏🙏

Is it worth it more importantly? Any of the Cardeas?

Saw this at my local store in SC for $119..., hard pass. Thx 4 the review. Get well soon Duane!

Long test it time !!!!!

Speaking of Christmas, what scotches do you two think taste like Christmas in a bottle (peated AND unpeated)?

Has anyone compared this one to the new LAPHROAIG CAIRDEAS 2021 PEDRO XIMENEZ CASK and how to they compare head to head?

“White guys from the States are little bit weird” 😆 you’re a funny bloke Bart.

Lol had no idea Bart was married to a Puerto Rican. Now it all makes sense. He’s apart of the angry Hispanic club.

now here is a question: Laphroaig or Waterford Organic? same price. Cheers!

Nice to hear someone else not not thrilled by some of the past Cairdeas releases. I didn't like the Madeira that much either. And the 2014 Amontillado one was probably worse :) But this new 2020 one is much better IMHO. I reviewed it here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-sO_qLpA3P3c.html

Has Laphroaig 16 hit your area? I found it for $85 in my area. I chose it over this Cairdeas
