Сдержанный для Lagavulin 18-летний Islay: кремовый мягкий торфяной дым, цитрус и светлые фрукты при умеренной хересности. Опытные ставят выше и хвалят баланс и зрелость, остальные — крепкий, но не выдающийся.
развернуть подробно
В аромате — сено, мёд, лимон и лаймовое желе, светлые жёлтые фрукты (банан, груша), ваниль и миндаль поверх мягкого дыма; отчётливы морские и медицинские, йодистые ноты (гудрон, повязка, «больничный коридор»), а хересность едва уловима — некоторые опытные ревьюеры даже подозревают сильно «омоложенные» бочки, где хереса почти не осталось. Вкус богаче аромата: маслянистый, солоновато-морской, с цитрусом (лимон, апельсиновый ликёр), пряностями, травами, кофе, устрицами и водорослями, сладковато-дымный и хорошо жуётся; для 18 лет — необычно фруктовый и живой. Послевкусие среднее-длинное, маслянистое, дымно-фенольное, с золой, гудроном, лимонной конфетой и лёгкой сушащей горчинкой; вода раскрывает цитрус и делает напиток мягче, хотя часть дегустаторов предпочитает неразбавленным. Опытные ревьюеры оценивают ровно и высоко (в основном 88–91, часто 90), хваля умный подбор бочек, интегрированный алкоголь при 53,9% и «взрослый», зрелый дым, отмечая лишь чуть застенчивый для Lagavulin аромат; расхождение — насколько это типичный Lagavulin (кто-то видит стиль Talisker, кремовый торф с перцем). Менее опытные держатся у 88–90, но дают и более сдержанные оценки (85, 87) с упрёками в простоте, «резиновости» молодой бутылки и разлаженности солёно-дымного профиля. В целом мнения согласованы: напиток стабильно оценивается как крепкий представитель Islay, элегантный и цитрусовый, но у части авторов — «хорошо, а не выдающееся».

Quite restrained for a Lagavulin OB this is not kipper juice but a nicely creamy peat and pepper combo more in the style of some Talisker I have tasted. No need for water this is really good and in my view not you typical Laga.

It would not be a dream to think that this is an 18-year-old smoker. Is that good or bad now? No matter. Class whisky.
Нос 90 Smoked bananas, pear sauce, lemon jelly. Very yellow-fruity, very refreshing. The smoke then pushes forward. In addition: Grease, fresh tarred road; even a little hospital corridor, which one usually has with the neighboring styery. Maritime notes. Vanilla and honey give extra sweetness.
Вкус 91 Fruit sweet and very smoky for a maturity of 18 years. A reflection of the nose with the yellow fruits, the dry smoke, the summer road-building associations. Slightly oily, with hints of pudding particles. Sea salt, seaweed. Coffee beans, mild spices, mild herbs.
Финиш 90 Long and still slightly oily, strongly smoky, phenolic, with pieces of pear and lemon.

[June, 2018]  I had this dram during this year's "Feis Ile" tasting session.  Usually Lagavulin offers decent drams for the Feis Ile but even at Lagavulin the high quality of the Feis Ile bottlings seems to degrade over time - at least for the last two years.  So what will this year's release be all about? This is another excellent Lagavulin with a rather questionable cask setting but a fine result, nonetheless.  I really like it, just the nose was too shy for me (given this is a Lagavulin)...
Нос 87 The colour is jonquiripe corn and the texture shows small tears that consolidate to bigger ones with slow legs. The nose is rather subtle on a fine autumn floral and herbal profile (what indicates European oak, usually) with almost no sherry aromas at all. So, what does ex-bodega butt mean? Was there ever sherry in these butts or were these casks that much "rejuvenated" that all of the flavours are gone now? Rejuvenation of casks seems the "miracle approach" of the Scotch whisky industry to the ever growing cask shortage crisis (due to the ongoing whisky boom). But a rejuvenated cask shows more the profile of new oak (after planing off all the depleted wood there is virgin oak only as the prior content did not reach the inner wood at all). So they can write ex-sherry (or in this case bodega) butt legally but actually this is cheating on the customer - it is new wood, finally! Nonetheless, this nose is quite fine and balanced but it is not impressive at all.
Вкус 90 The taste is richer than the nose (what is good!) and greatly chewable on fine barley sugars, maritime peaty flavours, some fruits and herbs in a firm and just about right wooden framework. That is really good and the Lagavulin-style I adore (again: Age DOES matter!). It is layered and interesting to explore, after some chewing I detect even some shy sherry flavours, perfect!
Финиш 91 The dram arrives warming and nicely coating on the palate with no distracting moments (compare this to the mouthfeel of this year's Laphroaig Cairdeas that I had just before and you will see: Age DOES matter!). The finish is long and sweeter than the taste with a minor drying end (that is not very much distracting). Water releases more aromas both in the nose and on the palate and it turns the whole dram more pleasing to the taste buds. But to be honest, sometimes my taste buds prefer not to be pleased (but challenged) and so I like the neat dram better.

One of the best Lagas I've had, very clever cask selection, amazing smoke for the age, but still fruity, chewy.

https://whiskylovingpianist.wordpress.com/2019/04/10/feis-ile-2018-lagavulin/ Crazy as it may sound, some people actually buy to drink! Can you imagine buying a pair of £100 shoes and not being able to try them on first? - just look! The apparent lack of opportunity to try the Feis Ile bottlings was a frustrating theme that continued throughout the festival. However, if you went on the [Lagavulin] tour [not actually available on the Open Day itself], you got to try it. So here we go. N: A unique combo of oyster sauce & cherry aid sweetness. Not one for the cookbook, but it works here. T: A similar savoury sweetness to the nose, the barley intact with sweet light smoke. F: A dryish malty oaky, decent length & competent finish with a medicinal touch. C: I get why people can buy blind, a bottle-in-a-bag from Lagavulin. They have faith in the integral quality of the distillery and its output, and this festival release will surely reaffirm their belief.

Spring Fresh In 2018 Lagavulin launched for the third festival an a row and 18 Year Old (for Feis Ile 2019 it was a 19 years old and I presume that trend will continue). I had to admit that those Feis Ile release, the distillery exclusives and mostly the Jazz Festival bottlings are very much to my liking. I wonder if this 18 years old from 2018 is also a winner (when I poured it at my Feis Ile Masterclass in Ghent, it was the winner). It is a vatting of refill hogsheads and sherry butts. I pour from bottle 4.025 of 6.000. The nose if spring fresh on vanilla, lime and mint, even some banana and pear. Some elderflower. Would that be from the sherry butts? It has a medicinal edge, but not overly much. Soft smoke. Some horse stable and rocky coast. Yes, I can imagine that. It is very good, to say the least, albeit somewhat restraint (for a Lagavulin). The taste is very good! A touch sweet with a lovely smokiness. Citrus fruit takes charge. Orange liqueur with sugared lime peel. Reminds me somewhat of yoghurt with pieces of fruit, but wrapped in a smoky jacket with green garden herbs. Softer than the standard 16, despite the ABV. The alcohol is perfectly integrated. The sherry is present, but clearly plays second fiddle. Very good, like I said. The finish is medium long (I would have loved for it to be longer), sooty and oily with lovely peat smoke until the very last moment. A winner and then some.

You need to give the dram some time in the glass to allow it to develop and become harmonious. It gets better with every sip. 86-90 – Wow, really good one, needs a bottle
Нос 90 Harmonious, round, soft, light, pleasant sweetness that integrates well with the Laga peat. Hints of light fruits.
Вкус 89 Strong, the ABV is impressive. The fruit comes through more on the second sip.
Финиш 90 Maritime. The peat is now more present without being overwhelming.

Bottle 2494. Still a little closed, but in the mouth, it is already very pretty. Quite typical.
Нос 87 Very round nose, a little closed, bordering on rubber. I taste the opening of the bottle, it is obvious that it will gain in wisdom with aeration. Very fatty peat. Lime. Motor oil, molasses. Pineapple peel. Black pepper. Bandage, medicinal. It's a bit simple.
Вкус 89 In the mouth we are on cold ash, tobacco, oily peat, gunpowder. Lemon, candied, in candy. Aromatic herbs, barbecue. A little farmer, dusty, earthy.
Финиш 89 Long finish on lemon candy, thyme, tarragon, oily peat, pepper and cold ash.
Lu Cifer 89 31 jul 2020 10:06 pm
Нос 89 Aromatic, smoky, slightly hearty, slightly fruity with notes of lemon/orange, a hint of maritime flavors, a touch of honey and vanilla, and slightly herbal aromas. Oak/wood notes, subtle sherry notes. +H2O: more open than before, slightly tarred hemp rope, pleasantly smoky, sweet, spices, citrus fruits, a hint of vanilla. Appealing :)
Вкус 90 With a light attack, warm, pleasantly aromatic, smoky and spicy, sweet and bitter. Here, too, a hint of hemp rope, spices, barrel and coffee, and oak spice, becoming slightly bitter but remaining soft. +H2O: sweet and spicy, smoky, a hint of maritime spices and oak spice. Intense, a little astringent for a moment. Citrus fruits (lemons and oranges), pleasantly soft, fantastic coffee notes. I love it!
Финиш 88 Delicately bitter with oak, a touch of hemp rope and spices, slightly smoky and a touch of maritime, a touch of salt and ash. Soft and long-lasting. A hint of malt at the end.

Revisit after few months +1 on the nose, it's a lot more complex after opened for few months; +1 on the palate, a lot more fruitier and lively, even without water.
Нос 90 A rather fresh nose, with notes of dirty soot, salted peanuts, seaweed, oysters and seashell. This is exactly what you want from Lagavulin. The peat smoke is not the protagonist here, but rather playing a supporting role. With water, more citrus fruits, especially lemon. Of course, the unmistakable medicinal, Dettol notes.
Вкус 89 Intense saltiness, strong smokiness, nice tingle of the palate. With water, a lot fresher, and more lively. Lots of oysters. with fresh seawater. There are some oranges too, and lemon.
Финиш 88 Long smoky finish, with leather and almond notes, and dried orange peel.

Colour: Sunlight / straw yellow Nose: Pungent-salty-sharp! Sweet peat, rope and tingling salty citrus flavors that make the nostrils tremble. In places but also floral and fresh kept (with reminder of detergent-citrus). The peaty phenols are packed spicy at the same time, but the salinity governs the nose. Taste: Sweet-salty-peppery and very maritime on the tongue. Lots of peat, tar and citrus fruits. Roasted nuts and a woody freshness add to the finish, but they can not really change the discordant consensus. Finish: Medium long - peaty-spicy and still very salty. Ash, cold tar and with the smoky taste notes. Ok, that was it. 87 points N: 89P / G: 87P / F: 86P

An understatement malt. Restrained nose (at first) especially if compared the the 12 cs. But the palate has a wonderful build up with the malt taking room and getting fuller in body by the second. Great refined herbal and oak notes the younger siblings are missing. Wounderful casksing, sherry in missing but not missed in this edition. I like it a notch better over the follow-up 19 yo. Underrated imho.

Pale gold color, rather young nose and not very marked by the barrels, very lemony, mineral, iodized, smoked salmon, a little austere but rather classy. Mouth powerful, austere too, very iodized and very peppery, mineral and maritime, with ashes, rubber, lemon, long finish on pepper. Very good in his style, it lacks a bit of sherry for my taste.

Lagavulin 18YO 2018 (53.9%). Consumed November 2018. Surprisingly pale. Aroma iodine, seaweed, crackers. Taste very smooth, soft notes of Iodine, TCP, breathy smoke, burnt wood, building alcohol. Unmistakeable Lagavulin finish with a tickle of white sugar. Very smooth and enjoyable. Beautiful Lagavulin smoke character. Good. 3.8/90

If you have a chance, you must taste Lagavulin vertically. If you drink separately, you will always remember that Lagavulin is very delicious, and then it is over. There will always be face blindness between them.

The strong peat did not conceal the rich fruity taste and elegant smoke. The complexity is excellent, but it also has a pleasant juicy feeling, with a hint of vanilla cream added to the cake. It's like an old-fashioned gentleman sitting at the dining table eating fruit and smoking a pipe.
Нос 88 Strong peat, obvious smoke, dust, and raw rice. Yellow fruits are like pineapples and mangoes. Clear sense of fermentation, roasted malt, cream frosting, vanilla ice cream. Vanilla flavored tobacco, like a lit pipe.
Вкус 89 At the beginning, there is a strong sense of juice, apple candy, and a large amount of tropical fruits such as mangoes and pineapples. Immediately after, there were obvious peat, vanilla cream mixed with tobacco, and a light baked pastry. Excellent body, with a certain waxy texture.
Финиш 89 Long lasting, light peat, lemon, orange peel oil, roasted malt, light vanilla, tobacco, and some bitterness similar to tea leaves

A rather bulky Lagavulin, probably needs more oxidation. A brilliant nose, though. Sherry not optimally integrated.

Drunk directly at Lagavulin. Here it tastes even better;)

[2019-06-07] Really good Lagavulin, such Distillers Edition premium, great composition of smoke and sweets
Нос 89 Smoke, a little sea, fishing boat, tar, but also a lot of fresh apples, refreshing, sea breeze
Вкус 90 The smoke is dominant, of course, but it is very sweet, a lot of fruit sweetness - apples, strawberries, peaches, sweet white grapes, a great composition of smoke and sweetness, bitterness delicately in the background - hazelnut tincture.
Финиш 89 Long, slightly smoky, hazelnut, the sweetness subsides, delicate peat and light bitterness remain on the tongue for a long time.

compared to an every-day whisky highlight like the Lagavulin 16 this is a pearl for special days. Nose: I have had this whisky in my glass for nearly 20 minutes due to the ever-changing smell, mostly fruits, smoke in the background Palate: Fruits, up-growing smoke Finish: Long and really smoky

the bottle is coming to an end, time to rate it. a heavy, complex paint that has everything you love about Islay.
Нос 90 A complex ensemble of flavors that beg to be explored. A sweet leather note in the foreground medicinal peat smoke, iodine, fresh herbs, mint, sulfur notes of fleshy, vegetable and rubber after the first sip, musty aromas of wet cellars and old books join in
Вкус 90 all receptors are served equally sweet, sour, salty and bitter all in harmony
Финиш 90 liquid leather and lots of iodine bittersweet chocolate and citrus

The nose is quite sharp, fresh, mineral and peppery, there is charcoal, seaweed, a little lemon and vegetable moss ... In contrast, the palate is very delicate, suave, with a sweet attack but very quickly strongly smoked, salty, ashy. Very long finish on peat smoke and iodine. Very good !

Lagavulin 18 Feis Ile 2018 WID: 112975 Abv. 53.9%, Refill Hogsheads, Sherry Butts Nose: the typical Lagavulin smoke can be recognized, but in a significantly degraded form, the smoke is mainly noticeable in many sweet nuances, which support the fruitiness of ex-Bourbon Casks, the sherry influence is very subtle and restrained, elderberry nectar , Spring flowers, surprisingly fresh Taste: distinctly darker and stronger than the nose, here comes the sherry to wear, the alcohol is very well integrated Finish: medium length, with a lot of ash firewood, Personally, I can not do much with the departure of the most Lagas Conclusion: Reminds a little of the 16er, only with more subtle sherry and significantly more bums. I like that. All in all a very solid malt and what is rare: a Lagavulin in CS. Unfortunately, he does not stint me, but I'm also not a big Lagavulin fan and I prefer Caol Ila or Laphroaig

Color: Straw Nose: A mellow, nice combination of farmy notes (not just a euphemism for manure as it sometimes is), peat, juicy apple, citrus, and grain. I don't find this particularly medicinal. I suppose it makes sense given the age, but not especially assertive. A little bit of wood spice makes an appearance with continued nosing. Overall, a well-balanced whole with nothing particularly standing out. Instead, I just come away thinking "good nose." Water doesn't really add much. Taste: Good mouthfeel and not any appreciable heat at a healthy cask strength. The smoke is there on the palate, but it's mild. Again, not especially assertive, but nice. This is distillate-forward despite Diageo's usual elaborations about wood in their special OBs. Not much else really springs to mind here. It's good, but not exceptional. Finish: Average. Comments: Very solid whisky. Let's just agree on that first. However, I think it's maybe a tad overrated around here. Normally, with this many votes, any whisky approaching a 90 on WB is a stone-cold winner. I think this is worth having, and I'm glad I purchased it on my sojourn on Islay last year. However, it's only in the middle-of-the-pack in terms of the peaters I own. I have to think this gets inflated a tad both because it's Lagavulin and because it's a Feis Ile bottling. Very good, not great.

Nose is restrained while taste is sweet. But Lagavulin 16 is better.
Нос 87 Not that peaty. Hard to pickup casks from smell. Some yellow fruit. Nose is quite subtle and alcohol is sharp
Вкус 90 A lot of sweet juicy yellow fruit and fruit sourness. Salted smoke fish. Smoke. Slightly bitter. Without water is a bit harsh, add little bit water helps
Финиш 87 Long smoke and bitterness
