Суммаризация отзывов

Виски в большинстве отзывов описывают как сложный, богатый и хорошо сбалансированный, с торфяным дымом, хересными нотами и долгим финишем, но встречается критика цены и отдельные сомнения во вкусе.
развернуть подробно
В большинстве отзывов этот виски представлен как выдающийся, сложный и гармоничный, с балансом торфяного дыма и хересных нот — сухофруктов, тёмного шоколада, кожи, кофе, дыма, йода и морской соли. Часто отмечают маслянистую текстуру и долгий финиш, а крепость почти не ощущается; некоторые прямо называют его одним из лучших Lagavulin или «мечтой». В части отзывов подчёркивается шерри-сладость, фрукты, специи и общая сложность, а также то, что он богатый и хорошо сбалансированный. Однако есть и критические и противоречивые мнения. Повторяется жалоба на «совершенно абсурдную» цену; один отзыв считает вкус «довольно обычным» и не понимает, почему виски так дорог, а другой — что при своей цене он не лучше 16-летнего и уступает старому 12-летнему. Отмечены противоречия: вкус богаче аромата, «хайп больше реальности», предупреждение, что окисление портит виски, а также металлическая горечь, холодный пепел, картон и «медицинская» резкость в послевкусии. Часть текстов указывает, что классический торф с возрастом ослабевает и стал мягче, а нос бывает закрытым или разочаровывающим. В единственном отзыве третьей части бутылка названа превосходной и достойной юбилейного выпуска, с глубокими шерри-нотами, старой древесиной, табаком, кожей, сухофруктами, лёгким дымом, морскими и ванильно-карамельными оттенками; во вкусе — идеальная крепость, маслянистая текстура, древесные специи, лёгкие дымные и лекарственные ноты, кожа, табак, землисто-мясные и перечные тона, а финиш тёплый и долгий, хотя, по мнению автора, мог бы длиться чуть дольше.

An excellent whisky whose taste is richer than its aroma, and whose hype is greater than its reality.
Spoerkel Connoisseur 89 23 may 2026 9:38 pm
Initially, the aroma of red jam on dark toast rises to the nose. On the palate and in the finish, wood and strong, but not overpowering, sherry aromas take center stage. A great whisky - but at a completely absurd price.

Slàinte Mhath Super Administrator 93 03 aug 2019 2:49 pm
I must confess: I had my doubts. Could this 200th-anniversary edition of Lagavulin 25 fulfill the high expectations? With natural cask strength of 51.7% ABV (bottle no. 1573), the nose achieves perfect balance between delicate peatiness and intense but not too dominating sherry cask influence. Cigar smoke, orange peel and dried fruits harmonize with notes of strong tea, cinnamon and dark chocolate. The taste is impressively zesty, rich and peaty dry, leading to a prolonged and bitter spicy finish. A truly superb Islay whisky with a hefty price tag. RATING: 4.7/5.0 stars ≙ 93 pts → SUPERB [+]

The release was made to commemorate the 200th anniversary of the famous distillery, with a circulation of 8,000 bottles. The spirits are aged in sherry casks throughout their entire maturation period. They possess natural characteristics and cask strength. Nose: The aroma is bright, smooth, rich, and savory, with a hint of dried fruit and barbecue. The cask strength isn't noticeable, and everything is very smooth and harmonious. Sweetness of fresh, moist dried fruit, cola, barbecue sauce, char-grilled meat, seaweed, iodine, minerality, and noble oak. Palate: brightly colored dried fruits, roasted meat, ash, potatoes roasted in coals, a freshly printed book, seaweed, iodine, cinnamon, pepper, heated oak board Finish: dried fruits, roasted meat, seaweed, iodine, mineral notes, damp oak Balance: a balanced, rounded, smooth, harmonious smoky whisky with a warming effect. A striking example of the excellent symbiosis of smoke and sherry. N23, P22, F22, B22

I understand its priced based on the market, but at over 1000€ this is not a bottle to buy for drinking, as you could get many bottles of something of equal caliber for that sum. Tasted with the following Lagavulins: Distillery Exclusive 2017 (87 pts.), 18yo Feis Ile 2016 (88), Islay Jazz Festival 2017 (86), Lagavulin 16yo "White Horse" late 1990s (90), 25yo 1977-2002 (93), and 1991-2016 200th Anniversary Charity Bottling single cask (92).

Нос92Never before have i tried a whisky that is so clearly layered. Welcoming, grand but inoffensive Lagavulin smoke with hints of old unventilated house, lemon marmalade and notes of oak wood. Behind this easily penetrable top layer lays a broad and deep range of well aged, balanced sherry whisky notes. Ranging from fresh roasted coffee beans to sweet strawberries dipped in a slightly burnt dark chocolate fountain. Dried figs, fresh dates, grilled meat, Serrano ham, waxy ointments, and fresh mellow tobacco.
Вкус93Rougher than would be expected from the nose. Perfect arrival, big and pleasantly spicy. Sweet lemon zest, coarse minerals and thick soot. Old smoked wood, cinnamon, Lapsang Suchong tea, very dark chocolate, beef jerky and copper. Hint of smoked anchovies.
Финиш91Pretty long and pretty damn good. Although not that refined. Glowing warmth, ashy smoke and latte macchiato, some medicinal notes too. Slightly drying with exotic wood, some bitter herbs and spices and a lingering ashy smoke.

It has an unexpectedly clear fruity aroma, with shells, powder, reefs, wood ash, mixed with the tannins of purple grapes. If you take a few more sips, you will smell the subtle alkaline and astringent taste mixed with peat, which increases the complexity of the latter part.

An amazing combination of completely incompatible tones, as if someone had put elements of industrial production into one container, from metal parts to oily old rags, added an orange peel, a piece of old leather, apricots and apples, a medical bandage, and sprinkled it all with machine oil This kind of trash can in the corner of an industrial workshop, with a rather sweet addition in the taste of dried plums.

Excellent strength, which is not felt at all, excellent phenolicity, which has not gone away. I had an interesting experience, because it’s not very often that you get to try age-appropriate Lagavulin! You can’t feel the strength, it’s scary to add water! A beautiful, multi-faceted malt that demands a special moment and special attention. 23 25 23 23

Unfortunately, Lagavulin is sitting pretty on its legacy stocks. And when they bottle a comparatively old whisky, they always make a mistake when it comes to the price... A really great whisky, you don't get something like that in your glass every day.
нос · вкус · финиш
Нос94Wonderful, really wonderfully aromatic - a very subtle peat smoke note, which clouds apricot pieces, peach slices and papaya. Damp straw, dust on leather-bound folios. Kumquat, orange, sponge cake. The peat smoke note is so reserved that it basically only gives the nose the spice and serves as an aroma catalyst for the fruit notes, but does not impose itself at all. And as a real catalyst, the peat smoke miraculously does not consume itself here, but rather remains for the whole time (approx. 20 minutes).
Вкус93Creamy, soft, almost lovely. Very viscous, immediately after the first contact the tongue is covered with a fruity-smoky and slightly tart mixture of fresh apricots, peaches and grapefruit on the one hand, but also dried plums, dates and raisins on the other. Fine herbs, some lavender, heather, marzipan, dark chocolate and cocoa. Provides a very penetrating mouthfeel.
Финиш93Long, very long. Increasingly drier, but without giving up its variety of aromas. In the corners there are still remnants of creaminess, the tart herbs and heather perform a farewell dance together with the now more intense smoke.

Вкус93Wow! Raisins, dried fruits, orange, sweetness of berries and a dry smoke that are in perfect harmony. Roasted almonds, salt, violets, figs and dates. But also a tar, iodine and a clear medicine tone. Big body in fantastic balance!
Финиш93Long! Long! Comes in wave after wave with the sweetness of raisins, dates, figs. Dry smoke of a summer fire, bitterness of dark chocolate and oak. To it balanced spices and a fantastic heat.

is a legendary Islay single malt, celebrating two centuries of distilling heritage. Matured in sherry casks, it masterfully balances intense peat smoke with rich dried fruit, dark chocolate, and maritime salinity. The long aging softens the smokiness into an elegant, velvety texture, while layers of oak spice, leather, and espresso add profound complexity. A rare collector's dram, it showcases Lagavulin's iconic style at its most refined.

Nose: Grease, dirt, old sherry. Cellar, tropical fruit, old engine oil. Peat, pharmacy, the smell of a tyre repair shop. Ripe strawberries, apricots, raspberries, wild strawberries, old rum-soaked cherry jam. Palate: Gooseberry, redcurrant, charcoal. Old tobacco, liquorice, candied ginger, dark chocolate, cocoa, chewing gum, plenty of minerality, lemon zest. Finish: Chewy toffee, caramel, burnt chocolate pudding, dark chocolate, strong black coffee, grilled vegetables with a hint of smokiness. The most astonishing thing about this whisky is how much peat remains in it after 25 years. A delicious drink and the best Lagavulin I’ve ever tasted.

http://kaypingers-whiskyblog.de/frontend/fullarticle.php?id=233 Color: Dark Copper / Amontilado Sherry Nose: Dull, dark and burned! A peppery spiciness rises in the glass, along with roasted nuts, BBQ, ham, charred wood, ashes, leather, medicinal aromas of iodine and an underlaid orange sweetness. With butter, caramel, raisins and honey. Taste: Balanced and quite spicy. Salt, tingling pepper, old sherry, orange peel / liqueur, nuts, almonds, chestnuts, herbs, oak and some furniture polish, tobacco and Kohlerauch. Towards the finish becoming fresher. Finish: Medium to long - tart, woody and with a chocolate glaze. Peat, coal, ashes, burned asphalt, old car tires, charred wooden beams, but then again almonds, some sweetish vanilla and emerging black Teearomen. Overall, dry-peaty fading out. Comment: A rather unusual but remarkable Lagavulin! 93 points (nose: 93 / taste: 93 / finish: 92)

That's what I expected from a 25y old Lagavulin. After the Feis Ile 2015 version (about 24y old) I wasn't expecting such a great anniversary dram, precisely because of the 8000 bottles. But if you want to learn something about quantity and quality at the same time going the same direction this is the malt in 2016 to go for. Concerning price/performance ratio: 8/10
hs305 Connoisseur 89 20 jun 2017 11:51 pm
[May, 2017]  I had this dram during Georgie's Masterclass at the Feis Ile.  Unfortunately she served just a very small dram so it is hard to do a proper tasting review (why are you so stingy compared to Caol Ila?).The colour is deep copper and I skip the texture test (to not waste the tiny size of the dram on the glass surface).  The nose is quite shy and closed, obviously it cries for water (again, why the hell you served such a small dram!!!).  The mouthfeel is warming and coating but slightly bitter and adstringent as well (metallic, cold ashes) - that is not to my liking.  The taste is quite complex on a lot of different flavours (pls. see other reviews), I like that.  The finish is of medium length and again a little drying on cold ashes and cardboards.  Some water opens up the nose as expected but still I remember many better Lagavulin noses.  The taste improves a lot from the additional water, now it gets really good.  But the finish stays a little weakish (for an old Lagavulin, of course it is on a high level).  Without water I score this dram 2 points less. To be honest, as a drinker I would not pay more than 150 Euro for such a bottle.  For the price this one trades I rather buy an old 12 year Lagavulin at an auction https://www.whiskybase.com/whiskies/whisky/38654/lagavulin-12-year-old...

Lagavulin 25 year old. Bought a dram at the distillery in March 2019. Unjustifiably expensive ... but cheaper than it would be in a bar, and I had really wanted to try this. There I go - that's me trying to justify the unjustifiable. Nice bottle presentation - screen-printed with a neck charm. Aroma is big, plasticky sherry. Nothing too complex here, but very enjoyable. Taste is again plasticky sherry, dates, salty and woody. Very nice - strawberry jelly and oak, sherry and smoke. Good. So much sherry. To be honest, it's not miles away from a good bottling of 'Distiller's Ed'. I had this side by side with a dram of 16: the 16 has more wafer biscuits, vanilla and banana - and those biscuity sweet elements really suit the spirit. With the two drams in front of me, I truly prefer the 16. That's good news for me - although it happens, it's worse to fall in love with expensive, rare limited editions from your favourite distilleries! 3.8/90

Tasting Notes by TWE Nose: Leather, salty peat, seashells, salted butter and sharp sea-spray. Rounded Crunchie-bar sweetness and fruity notes sat underneath, with sultanas, rich fruit cake and dark chocolate. Punchy medicinal notes and bung cloth are balanced by elegant waxed jacket notes, barley sugar, fruit gums and a hint of barrel char. Palate: Elegant, rounded and old, with youthful flashes. The waxed jackets from the nose sit at the centre, surrounded by a first layer of waxy apples and floral notes. Out from there there’s lemon and orange zest, and black pepper. Warm leather, loam and soft barrel char bitterness follow, with bung cloth, soft oaky notes and coal smoke following. Finally, there’s fruit, with apples, singed pears and tropical hints peaking out from behind the smoke. Finish: Barrel char, wet peat and dark chocolate, with hints of pine and soft, lingering sweetness. Comment: An excellent dram, combining the elegance of old Lagavulin with flashes of youthful feistiness.

Beautiful ripe whisky from very good barrels

Wonderfully complex and powerful whisky. Everything we get: sherry, peat and smoke, fruits, oak and spices.

Mellow; but not distinctive Lag; unlike the 25 yo I bought for £105 back in 2006.

Now this 200th anniversary is a reason for bottling excellent stuff and this one doesn't come short to my expectations. I really like it. If not for the price i'd have bought a couple of bottles.

Нос94You can smell it's not young. It's well balanced and wow! Clearly to identify as a Lagavulin Oily, salty, oranges and raisins. A hint of smoke and tar.
Вкус93Very sweet, raisins, dried fruits, minerals, toffee, a hint of BBQ
Финиш93very very long! Almost the same as the taste, a little more oak might be present.

lukeboone Expert Junior 87 02 jan 2017 12:01 pm
its quite a good whisky. but when you slap that price tag on it, it makes other whisky looks so cheap. was really expecting better nose. maybe my sample was left out too long.

I touched the sky 91 out of 100 points a really nice whisky the Erikanote is particularly good However, after a while, the mouth and finish have a medical sharpness and a slight bitter note, both of which are not well integrated and inappropriate in the overall concept it is not more than 91 points Ranking 1st nose, 2nd mouth, 3rd finish the second time that an unsuitable menthol note (medicine) spoiled an old Lagavulin

https://whiskylovingpianist.wordpress.com/2019/04/25/feis-ile-2018-swa-tasting-at-the-bally-grant-inn/ N: This is a lovely floral sweaty-sweet, subtle/distant-yet-true, deeper smokey peaty malt compared to the Laphroaig though everyone’s glass offers something different. You may find anything you want in this bottle. Becomes more floral with water. T: Tastes as exceptionally good as it smells, with a sweet bitter sour herbal complex. More cider & white wine-like with water. F: Deliciously ashy dunnage-y is all I noted. so all is well. C: Add a drop or two of Laphroaig 30yo and you’ve got a 92 score. 91 points in its own right.

Superb bottling and a worthy anniversary edition for sure. Review: https://youtu.be/FHBrmE47wps

Нос94Deep, sherried notes, showing age. Like opening an old dusty drawer in a wooden cabinet - old wood, tobacco leaves, leather, then dried apricot, raisin, date, fig, some more vibrant notes of fresh apple, litle bit of furniture polish. Very light smoke, pine cones, seaweed, brine. Vanilla, and later toffee and malt sugar show up as well. Lots of fun to nose this one.
Вкус93Perfect alcohol level, thick, oily, great mouthfeel. Lots of wood spices, nutmeg, cinnamon. Muscovado sugar, light smoke, very light medicinal notes, smoked kipper, leather, light tobacco leaves, perfectly balances. Second chew is a bit drier, with more medicinal notes, dried herbs, very light menthol, and brine. Fantastic. Third chew brings earthier, meatier umami notes, black pepper, freshly squeezed pear juice, light peppermint. Complex and fabulous.
Финиш90Stays warm, with medicinal notes, some sweetness left, dried fruits, vanilla, smoked fish, salt. Long and warm, but could have lingered just a little longer to ring all the bells.
