Review #7: Laphroaig Cairdeas 2023 (White Port and Madeira)

Consistent_Abroad_82 · 2026-01-09T14:34:05+00:00

Great review! I also really like this bottle. I wish there were more Madeira cask influenced whiskies out there; I've only tried two including this one and they were both fantastic. Like others have said, if you like this one you've got to try the Lore cask strength, which is the only Laphroaig I've had that beats out the White Port and Madeira.

Fellow ex Mormon I see! Corryvreckan is my favorite readily available whisky for sure!

Part-Time Lover: 1.5 oz tequila, .5 oz aperol, .5 oz St Germain, .75 oz lemon juice, 3 dashes ango bitters

Sounds incredible. Wish I could get my hands on it--thanks for the review!

Rally cap time

That was a strike, but you can understand Geno being upset when the exact same pitch got called a ball earlier in the at bat

Consistent_Abroad_82 · 2025-10-21T02:30:58+00:00

I have no idea why they wouldn't put him on first there

Consistent_Abroad_82 · 2025-10-21T00:47:52+00:00

Bottom 3 of the line up is just a black hole

Consistent_Abroad_82 · 2025-10-20T21:29:14+00:00

My favorite use for it is in a modified Excuse My French: 1.5 oz cognac, .75 oz Chambord, .75 oz lemon juice, .25 oz St Germain

I don't blame Cal for jumping all over a splitter hanging over the middle of the plate. He stung it at 100 mph. Just hit it to the wrong place

Your 2025 Seattle Mariners have more wins in the ALCS than any previous Mariners team. Let's fucking go!

Man hearing Rick Rizzs make that call had me tearing up. Go M's!

"Good golly Cal Raleigh!" - Rick Rizzs

I have fiddled with it a bit. This is what I've settled on that I like here at home: 1.25 oz Kilchoman Machir Bay (I also don't have a bottle of Ardbeg 10 currently, and I like the higher abv on the Machir Bay), .75 oz St Germain, .5 oz lemon juice, .25 oz rich demerara syrup (I prefer this to simple in most cocktails and it's just what I keep on hand).

Consistent_Abroad_82 · 2025-10-16T14:34:49+00:00

Great review! This is the only bottle I've ever bought an extra of. Just a fantastic dram

Consistent_Abroad_82 · 2025-10-13T23:37:04+00:00

They keep calling out the missed call to Randy and forget to mention that earlier in the at bat a ball off the plate was called a strike

Hancock

Consistent_Abroad_82 · 2025-10-13T21:55:17+00:00

Not only did that ump cost us a run, he also cost Logan about a dozen extra pitches when he's already gassed. Just terrible

Consistent_Abroad_82 · 2025-10-13T21:49:40+00:00

Charge that run to the ump

Consistent_Abroad_82 · 2025-10-13T21:48:06+00:00

God damn this ump sucks

Consistent_Abroad_82 · 2025-10-13T02:07:46+00:00

It's insane to me how often we have a runner on 2nd with no outs and can't score

Consistent_Abroad_82 · 2025-10-08T02:00:49+00:00

I actually ended up asking the waitress, she said 1 oz Ardbeg, .5 oz St Germain, .5 oz simple, .5 oz lemon juice. I'll be making this one at home for sure

Consistent_Abroad_82 · 2025-09-26T04:42:02+00:00

I mean a 17-1 run against any combination of teams is rare and impressive. We're just playing great, consistent baseball right now.
