Thanks for this one Lads. Fun as always. You just clarified what i knew before, no surprise then. Nice to have a sample but pay £150 asking price no way. Im Laphi fun but this seems to be designed for their Fanatics. I stay with my CS's and 16yo. Cheers 😁🥂🥂🥂🙋‍♂️

If you love the distillary, I say it worth your time but don't disagree with anything you said. Cheers

One of the best Laphroaigs on the market. 2.0 is off profile Laphroaig while really good its missing the smoke you want.

[@nixondutes3550]

Wonderful review fellas!! Please also review the elements 2.0 and compare & contrast the two❤ awesome job.

[@topshelfwhisky]

See what we can do. Very possible.

Great review, guys. I do enjoy a whisky that “shoves me off a cliff”! 😂🥃

[@josephmajor7761]

I passed on this one but I absolutely adore the new cairdeas. That’s one I grabbed a backup of.

[@topshelfwhisky]

better use of a whisky budget for sure. Love that Cairdeas

[@enotrilogy]

Hoping you guys do a 2.0 review. Love the tasting notes from the 1.0 but scored it a bit higher. There is a balance to its younger aggressive facets. That said, this is far from a 3 or 4 trick pony! Pretty awesome big bold atypical Laphroaig....

[@enotrilogy]

Similar in someways to some of the .1 Octomore's

I missed out on this batch. My local said they got it in and when I called to place the order online they said it was a misprint. I wonder how this compares to the Port Charlotte OLC or MRC scotches. Thanks for the honest kick in the gnards review.

Laphroaig website says: experimentation with mashing and fermentation. Made in two sizes of mash tun and with two worts, cloudy and semi-cloudy. I looked at this at the store but passed because I just bought the 2024 Cairdeas for less.

[@topshelfwhisky]

That's a easy choice. The Cairdeas is special.

[@teddyballgame25]

Sounds like a virgin oak finish.

[@lesterdiamond12]

Sounds like 10 cask strength is the better buy

[@topshelfwhisky]

depends on the batch

[@primewhisky]

Great video guys 👍🏻 Think this one was mediocre, L2.0 is far better😋😋

[@topshelfwhisky]

We still have to try the 2.0

[@TalkingTorah613]

is this a re-review?

[@topshelfdustin3060]

Not even sure you can call this a review given we split 2 oz. But certainly not a re-review. Didn't this just come out like a year ago?

[@topshelfwhisky]

Our first time with it. But we review quite a few Laphroaig's.
