This year's Cairdeas is available for sale now for Friends of Laphroaig - a little earlier than the 2nd June date advertised.

I need your opinion malt people, I am only allowed to get one bottle, should I get this years Laphroaig Cairdeas or Balvenie Single Barrel 15 Year Old Single discontinued bottle for drinking in the future ?.

I havent had either of them but want both of them but i think my personal taste will swing me towards the new Balvenie

Thanks for the feed back, Islay Pete and Archer. I decided to get a bottle of Laphroaig Cairdeas, due to the fact it's only once a year bottling and will be something new to dram on a cold night.

I still think the price is reasonable compared to other festival releases, which are considerable higher prices.

I would recommend the Laphroaig nothing better than drinking it at the distillery on a warm day while the kiln is blowing so nice peat smoke over the distillery

Went to check if Laphroaig had any left of this year's Cairdeas release, only to find they have already sold out, glad I bought a bottle.

Amazing to think over 28,000 bottles sold in less than 1 month, not bad.

You should still be able to find a few, depending on your location. I went out last weekend and grabbed... 4 Smile

but I was in NYC visiting so perhaps they just have a ton of everything since the liquor stores probably get a nice share of even the most limited stuff.
