Turns out I won tickets to the Monkey Shoulder 'Malt Jockey' night in London a few weeks ago. They served up three free delicious whisky based cocktails. It is great! And yeah its a blend.

To be followed up with Mount Gay Rum?

This!

Maybe I should start a new thread for this, but I think this is where it belongs.

I ran out of my normal 10 year old Laphroaig, and when I went to replenish my supply, my normal 10 year old was not available.  There were only five bottles on the Laphroaig shelf:  three bottles of Triple Wood, one bottle of cask-strength, and a bottle of "Cairdeas Port Wood Edition".  I bought the bottle of Cairdeas, since I had never heard of it before.  According to the bottle, each year Laphroaig's master distiller "handcrafts a limited edition malt to celebrate friendship ('Cairdeas' in Gaelic").   

One glass convinced me that I will buy more of it if I ever get the chance.  Review.

Anybody else had any experience with Laphroaig Cairdeas?

BeoPuppy:
I would love to tell you that I had had the pleasure of tasting that scotch ... but I haven't. Because it's expensive. And I'm limiting myself to one expensive scotch at a time.

Well, my bankaccount is, anyway.

Otherwise I'd be all over this. I like Islay scotches. They're the best.

Zebediah:
My normal drink is 12-year Glenfiddich. My wife likes Laphroaig. But I got to try something new the other night. We were at a liquor store that was giving samples (never been in a liquor store that gave free samples before!) of a Vermont-brewed maple bourbon - "Sapling" is the brand. It's quite good - not something I'd care to drink all the time, but we got a small bottle for toasts on New Year's Eve.
