Tasting Notes

Producing WhiskyCast has given me the opportunity to taste some really amazing whiskies, and I’m pleased to share my tasting notes with you here. You can search my entire database of tasting notes from this page, and I hope you’ll find it useful.

Laphroaig Cairdeas 2010 Feis Ile Edition

Country: Scotland

Region: Islay

Type: Single Malt

Bottler: Distiller

ABV: 57.5%

Score: 93 Points

Cairdeas means “friendship” in Gaelic, and if you have a friend with a bottle of this, it’s pronounced “car-chase.” The nose is smoky, phenolic, and nutty with just a hint of pears. The taste is thick and peppery, and fades slowly to reveal hazelnut and hints of peat. The finish is smoky and long-lasting with hints of pepper and allspice.
