Today, we dive into the Cask Favorites, a 10 year blend of the exceptional Cairdeas Triple Wood and PX cask. Not just two favorites from Laphroaig fans, but two of our favorites as well. One things for sure at 52.4% and with a proper age statement, this isn't one to miss. But is it going to be the best value in whisky of 2024?

I try to get 2 every year. I picked up 4 of this one solely on your review. You guys are not wrong. Truly "Top Shelf Whisky" ;-)

@topshelfwhisky 8 дней назад

Couldn't agree more! This is the Cairdeas to have.

Thanks for the heads up! My son got me a bottle just now at Potomac W&S in DC for $105. Good to have 3 kids scattered about to act as my mules. 😂

@topshelfwhisky Месяц назад

That's a good price. Stock up!

I just bought this bottle last week. I cracked it open right away. I'm so glad I did, because this is delicious stuff!! I also enjoyed last year's release, mainly because I love Madiera...lol. I also really enjoy the Fino from 2018. However this bottle (2024) takes the cake! Cheers Laphroaig fans 👍

@topshelfwhisky Месяц назад

Fino was a good one. This 2024 your favorite?

Hope you enjoy it!

@JoukoL Месяц назад

I would have missed this one without you guys! Thanks for a great review. I haven't had a chance to try that many of the Cairdeas releases since they are not readily available in Finland. The ones I've had have mostly been good with some great ones (like 2008) here and there. Waiting for the Laphroaig 18 review and yes, I did listen to the live so it seems like I should already just get one.

@topshelfwhisky Месяц назад

That's good to hear! That's why we do it. This whisky is not only a 90/100 but also great value. Much like the Bunny 12 cask strength 2022.

@bottlekilltv Месяц назад

We just reviewed this with the new 18 release on our channel. We loved them both. Agreed with you guys The Cairdeas way much interested than expected. Sometimes Laphroiag so slip some older bad boys into the releases

@topshelfwhisky Месяц назад

I'm going to watch other opinions on this one, not many out there. I'm really interested because to me, this is like the Bunna 12 CS 2022, epic for the money.

@topshelfdustin3060 Месяц назад

Yep will have to check it out. Looking forward to doing a formal review of the new 18 with mike. So far, we're fans but not so sure it is worth it.

@chrisbearg 22 дня назад

Wow, very fun review and thank you for the heads up on this release I’ve been down on official Laphroaig releases recently after the 10-year Sherry Cask and the Cairdeas from a couple of years ago. This sounds like a real winner and will definitely give this a shot 🥃

@topshelfwhisky Месяц назад

Enjoy!

@theflow1546 Месяц назад

I really love this one, even though it does not have the typical Laphroaig Peat, but that makes it even more interesting. In my opinion it tastes older than the 10 years.

@topshelfwhisky Месяц назад

Dustin and I absolutely agree this tastes older.

@topshelfdustin3060 Месяц назад

Definitely older.

@sierrastriker77 Месяц назад

Hi praise coming from you guys! Now I have to justify blowing out my whiskey budget before these disappear…..UGHHH. Gotta say I really agree with Mike's point about Laphroaig and Sherry casks though: sometimes they really hit it out and other times strikeout, like I love Lore but HATE the 10yr Sherry which to me has a weird wet, musty sponge note that I guess you could almost say gets "chalky" or "clay" notes like Mike alluded to with the PX. Thanks for another great review!

@topshelfwhisky Месяц назад

This one is a stunner for the money. Had a few drams with the malted man cave last night, and he’s in agreement with us as well.

@@primewhisky I look forward to your review!

@100puremustard5 Месяц назад

Great review guys! I've always been a huge Laphroaig fan, their 10yr CS is the best bang for the buck in peated for me. Just ordered a couple bottles of this Cairdeas based off your review alone. Question: this one sounds very sherry foward... how would you compare it to Hazelburn 15yr 2023?

@topshelfwhisky Месяц назад

Different whiskies but this Laphroaig for fair more punchy. A bigger sherry swell.

@TheReal_DeanD Месяц назад

Wow! Now I’m really happy I got the last bottle at my local Total Wine.

@javieracosta3439 6 дней назад

I found one today here in Connecticut. $104.99. However, only one of the four stores I stopped into had it. And they only had ONE on the shelf. I hadn't expected this to be so limited (I even checked some websites of stores in my area that don't have it in yet either- but can find the Cairdeas from 21, 22, 23's and supposedly one store still has the Fino finish) I will get into it this weekend and determine if it's worth continuing to scour my locals to find back ups. But now that you've had the 2024 Springbank 12, does this Laphroaig still have the top spot for whisky of the year??

@topshelfdustin3060 6 дней назад

Well, when I do the thumbnails I take some liberty, but I gave this that trophy because this is something people can get. Our springbank 12 review had comment after comment of "how did you get it for 150" and "where do you live" and "what stores do you shop" and I get emails about where can I get this online for 300. Nobody asks that about this one. So while this might be hard to get....it seems everyone we've told to get it, gets it.And for less money.

@topshelfdustin3060 6 дней назад

that said, yeah springbank is better, but this wins because it's cheaper, available, and darn it....that should matter.

@javieracosta3439 6 дней назад

@@topshelfdustin3060 yeah, very good to great is all fine and dandy but with scarcity in play I understand that'll tip the scales in favor of a more widespread release. When the SB 12 dropped here three weeks ago I probably could have gotten more than one of them at $120 and would have after watching your review if it had dropped earlier. As it stands now the SB12s are all gone. With the new Cairdeas I figure it to be much easier, especially with so many whisky drinkers here unable to tolerate peat. So far it's slim pickings but happy to find one and end the hunt. (For now 😂) Cheers Dustin.

Wow - I was gonna pass but after this review, I just pulled the trigger!

Great review - after hearing it, I am sold!!

Remember that theese boys also love laphroaig and smokey whisky in general :D The rest of the world point to that this is overpriced and go for cask strength instead. Love their videos as always anyway :D

@garyk3675 Месяц назад

@@shaddepadde the Williamson is a unique Laphroaig, dark, rich, and mildly smokey. I love it. This one is cheap by comparison. Mike's comment about the quarter cask making the mouth feel thick and oily instead of thin was what finally sold me. $104.99 in my market.
