Суммаризация отзывов
Отзывы описывают дымный, лекарственный и морской профиль с нотами торфа, водорослей, йода и соли, а также шоколада, ванили и цитрусовых. Мнения о глубине и гармоничности расходятся: часть отзывов хвалит насыщенность и зрелость, часть считает виски простым или несбалансированным.
развернуть подробно
В большинстве текстовых отзывов профиль описывается как дымный, лекарственный и морской: упоминаются торфяной дым, йод, водоросли, морская соль, а также асфальт/смола и «больничные» ноты. К этому добавляются цитрусовые (лимон, апельсин), персик и абрикос, орехи, ваниль, карамель, тёмный шоколад, специи и перец; в отдельных отзывах отмечаются банан, тоффи, кожа, кофе и минеральные ноты. Финиш чаще описывается как длинный или средне-длинный, дымный, солёный, с перцем, шоколадом и лекарственными оттенками.
Оценки восприятия различаются. Часть отзывов говорит о насыщенном, «зрелом» и мощном характере с сильным дымом и выраженными дистиллерийными нотами, о хорошей интеграции молодых спиртов и о том, что виски легко превосходит текущий 10 CS по интенсивности дыма. Другие отзывы называют его простым, «плоским», недостаточно глубоким, менее гармоничным на вкусе, чем в аромате, или прямо разочаровывающим; один отзыв отмечает, что сочетание вкусов кажется неприятным. Также встречается сравнение с более старой версией 2018 года, которая описывается как более полная и фруктовая.

aroma: delicate, smoke, nutmeg, nuts taste: harsher, iodine, tobacco, butter biscuit I can already feel the influence of the barrel here, it's not just pure iodine and the hospital
A Laphroaig like it used to be. Not like it used to be, but at least it easily outshines the current 10 CS batch in terms of smoke intensity. According to official information, the barrels used have been aged for 7 to 21 years. The proportion of old barrels will not be very high considering the price, but in a small parallel comparison with a 10 CS Batch #017 it doesn't do too badly, so I estimate the average age of the barrels used to be 9-10 years.

| Нос | 88 | Phenolic smoke, warm tar paper, Hansaplast, dried seaweed, plus citrus juice and dried peach. Of the last new OA Laphroaigs in a similar age category (10 CS, Càirdeas), this one has by far the strongest Laphroaig aromas. The peat smoke note is as penetrating and medicinal as before, it comes across as if it was pretty much ready for a riot. Clearly maritime. |
| Вкус | 87 | Wide-legged start, not stingy with peat smoke, but not young or unfinished. Seaweed, smoked fish, clearly phenolic and medicinal. Lemon peel, roasted orange peel, dark chocolate, roasted almonds, a little liquorice. The phenolic peat smoke note moves from front to back and back to front on the tongue. Dried herbs add a slightly bitter note, but there is no wood. |
| Финиш | 87 | With the still intense peat aroma, it has a medium-long finish. There is seaweed, a little citrus juice, dark chocolate, cold espresso, liquorice. |

Nose: typical Laphroaig smoky, ash, seaweed Aroma: oily, sweet and dry Finish: Complexity of the different barrels Unfortunately, I don't know the better rated 2018 vintage.

What a disappointment. I usually like Laphroaig and Islay malts in general, but this is just isn't it.
нос · вкус · финиш
| Нос | 78 | Boring. Simple. Peat smoke light. Soft vanilla. Some green apples. Hint of a Lemon. It's not only simple, but also utterly lacking any depth. This smells like too young spirit aged in bad casks. Washed out. Clean - which is the last thing I want from a Laphi. |
| Вкус | 78 | Most likely chill filtered - lacking any structure. Quite peppery. Some ash and lime. A hidden medicinal note. Nothing interesting to find here. |
| Финиш | 80 | Ash. Finally some maritime influences. Vanilla. Goes on for a bit, but that's likely due to the peated nature |
Tasting notes from a sample: Powerful, but not very harmonious with typical Islay smoke and mineral notes; the sherry influence is barely noticeable. Significantly better on the nose than on the palate.

| Нос | 87 | Medicinal smoke rises from the glass; you don't even need to bring your nose close. On the nose, the typical Islay notes emerge: smoke, iodine, marine notes, oak, a touch of vanilla, and bitter chocolate. Sherry notes are only faintly present. |
| Вкус | 85 | On the palate, little smoke, but immediately quite bitter with dry notes and sharp spices; some dark chocolate is perceptible. |
| Финиш | 85 | The finish reveals pepper, maritime notes and sharp spices, leaving behind a hint of medicinal smoke. |

| Нос | 85 | Young wood, peat, hospital, smoked tropical fruits (pineapple?), very old dried apricot. |
| Вкус | 86 | Lime, black pepper, wood, tangerine. |
| Финиш | 86 | Iodine, smoked sheep cheese, campfire, ash. |
Aroma: Powerful medicinal peat smoke, seaweed brine, and a hint of sweet vanilla. Palate: Rich and oily with intense smoke, followed by surprising notes of ripe banana, creamy toffee, and a touch of spice. Finish: Incredibly long, warming, and smoky, with lingering coastal salt and a subtle sweetness.

Smoky, oily and medicinal. The combination of flavours doesn’t work for me; I find the overall taste rather unpleasant.

I expected it to be more complex....it's not bad, but for example Kilchoman Sauternes won in head to head comparison
Blind tasting ... It's Laphroaig! Love this distillery.

| Нос | 86 | smoke, ripe peaches, dried apricots, black pepper, mountain honey, wax; deeper - peat, linseed oil; even deeper - vanilla, oak; alcohol is slightly felt, but does not interfere. Later, sherry notes appear - sulfur, stale rag; in the background there is always oak, pepper, sweetish smoke, light mineral notes, sea water |
| Вкус | 86 | honey, salted caramel, lots of different peppers, oak, peat, smoke, charcoal, old leather; whitewash, minerality. Body is rounded; alcohol is slightly noticeable |
| Финиш | 87 | smoke, pepper, salt, peat, a little strong mountain honey and wax. Lots of oak and spices; leather, minerality. Long, warming aftertaste |
A modern bottling following a recent rebranding, this release is a blend of malt spirits aged from 7 to 21 years. Its character is achieved through a combination of ex-bourbon, European oak, and Oloroso sherry casks, as well as maturation in signature quarter casks. The whisky is reduced to 48% abv, non-chill-filtered, and likely tinted with caramel. Nose: A delicate, noble, yet rich, vanilla-floral fragrance with a subtle smokiness. Vanilla, pollen, menthol, tar, medicinal notes, wet wool, lemon zest, iodine, salt, ginger, white pepper, ash, furniture varnish, delicate oak. Palate: Delicate yet dense, rich, vanilla-creamy, smoky. Vanilla, pollen, menthol, grilled meat, medicinal note, rubber bands, iodine, ginger, white pepper, spicy oak. Finish: The aftertaste is bright, ash-peppery, creamy, phenolic with medicine, tar, zest and spices. Balance: A pleasant, noble, mature whisky with a predominantly bourbon profile and the distillery's ancestral characteristics. Despite the lack of an age statement, it's clear that mature spirits were used in the blend. The younger spirits are well-woven into the overall composition, lending a fresh and vibrant feel to the release. N22, P22, F21, B22
A decent daily Laphroaig with classic medicinal peat and coastal character, though it stops short of real depth or distinction.

I still have a bottle from 2018. It's still half full. I bought this one for 58 because it was cheaper than the old bottle. For me, it was a complete failure...

| Нос | 81 | In comparison: The nose here is much weaker and seems totally flat. Perhaps it needs to breathe more and will only get better in a few years. 2018 is much fuller and fruitier 87 |
| Вкус | 83 | Intensity is there. But again, it's too weak in comparison. The old one is a force 88 |
| Финиш | 81 | Hurry up, hurry up, unfortunately disappointing |
