A nova versão do Cairdeas, acabou de ser lançado durante o Festival de Islay 2009, em exclusivo para os Friends of Laphroaig.
Este novo Cairdeas, possue algumas e não poucas diferenças para a anterior expressão.
Amadurecido durante 12 anos em cascos de ex-bourbon (Makers Mark), foi engarrafado como cask strength, 57,5% ABV (finalmente uma graduação que se veja!!!).
Notas de Prova de Robert Hicks:
Colour: Yellow Gold
Nose: From the bottle the impact of the wood comes through immediately with a hint of pencil shavings which enhances the massive peat smoke aroma. Once through this initial impact there is a gentler flavour of red berries and marzipan [almonds]. Binding these all together is a thick creamy, even custard style sweetness.
Body: Very mouth filling and huge
Palate: Without water the iodine and peat smoke fills the coats the tongue only just allowing a trace of the sweeter flavours to show. Again when a touch of water is added there is an initial burst of peat smoke, liquorice and spice. With or without water this has a very powerful mouth filling experience
Finish: Very long with a very dry finish

Vale a pena ler dois dos comentários que John Campbell, faz sobre este whisky, realmente esta industria, quando não massificada e mercantilizada é ideal:
"We have been inundated with orders for the 2009 Cairdeas in the last 4 days and we only have 2 staff! As you know we state 28 days for delivery so please be patient .We will get you're bottle to you as fast as we humanly can!"
"Again as always please buy it for yourselves and not E Bay! It really has been bottled for your pleasure not profit!"
