Tasting

How it drinks

Sight
Rich amber gold; heavy, viscous legs at cask strength
Nose
Concentrated version of the Triple Wood concept — at cask strength everything is amplified. Intense medicinal peat, iodine, dark sherry fruit (raisin, fig, prune), vanilla, coconut, and powerful oak spice (cinnamon, clove). Seaweed and maritime tar
Palate
Powerhouse delivery. All the Triple Wood flavors at maximum intensity — medicinal peat, dark fruit, oak spice, vanilla, coconut, dark chocolate, espresso, maritime salt, and a phenolic bite. Adding water releases floral heather and honey. The highest ABV regular Cairdeas release
Finish
Massive, extended finish. Alternating waves of peat, spice, dark fruit, and maritime salt. Cask strength gives it extraordinary persistence. A collectors piece and critical darling
