Молодой торфяной Laphroaig с морским характером и сладкой цитрусово-фруктовой подложкой; опытные ставят выше (до 91), хваля мягкость при 52,3% и цельность, остальные чаще отмечают короткое послевкусие.
развернуть подробно
В аромате — фирменная торфяно-дымная ДНК Laphroaig: смолистая бумага, водоросли, соль, медицинские, йодистые ноты и пластырь, подчёркнуто морской профиль, а поверх — сладко-кислая фруктовость (зелёное яблоко, чёрная смородина, белый виноград, цитрус), ваниль, крем-брюле, солёная карамель, орехи и молочный шоколад. Во вкусе тёплый торфяной дым и смолистость сочетаются с неожиданной сладостью, которая прикрывает торф и уступает место сухим пряно-фруктовым акцентам; крепость 52,3% ощущается мягко, отмечают маслянистую текстуру, морскую соль, травы и оттенки херес-подобной сладости от выдержки в мадере и белом порту. Послевкусие — камень преткновения: часть авторов находит его приятно долгим, с дымом, солёно-йодистыми нюансами, пеплом и табаком, тогда как другие называют коротким, сухим или горьковатым, где сладость мадеры уходит.
Опытные ревьюеры оценивают выше и щедрее на детали, отмечая мягкость, сладко-кислую цельность и верность стилю (вплоть до 91), при этом один опытный автор поставил лишь 83, ожидая большего. Основная масса держится в узком диапазоне 85–90, так что расхождение умеренное: профиль признают почти все, спорят в основном о длине и качестве послевкусия и о том, насколько сладость уравновешивает торф.

Now, shortly before the end of my (first, there will probably be more to follow) bottle, I have to write down my impressions, so far only pouring - amazement - enjoyment was the order of the day. For me a very clear 90-point bottling, with a tendency towards 91. Why? Well, as a longtime friend of the distillery, I've always liked ex-bourbon cask Laphroaig, which, in addition to the classic aromas from this type of cask, also transport a certain sweetness to the tongue, as some (much) older Laphroaig are able to do. I find it very lucky to find this in a much younger plant, especially since this sweetish-sour aroma does not appear artificial, no, it is simply immanent.

Directly pure Laphroaig DNA on the nose, accompanied by a very inviting fruity-sweet note, which turns out to be a mixture of green apple and black currant after a while. Sweet, with a fine, not overpowering acidity. In addition, the full love it or hate it Laphroaig program with warm tar paper, seaweed, Hansaplast, salt, whereby this Càirdeas seems particularly maritime to me. Crème Brûlée, sugar beet syrup, but also lots of vanilla and some pine honey. |

If the nose was a Laphroaig poem, the tongue shows its lineage even more. A pleasantly warm, peat-smoky, tarry note spreads directly through the entire mouth, whereby the 52.3% (very nice, the .3 again as an indication of the bottling year) feels incredibly soft, softer than, for example, the 48% of the 16yo . On the tongue, the Granny Smith turns into a sweet Pink Lady, but the black currants remain and provide the sweet-tart counterpoint here as well. Dried seaweed, salt, a not so well ventilated hospital corridor, dry wood, really very hearty notes of peat smoke. Some thyme, marjoram, rosemary. Damn delicious. |

It doesn't matter that it owes its fairly long finish to the very intense note of peat smoke, because at least smoke isn't the only thing to be found in the finish, but all the flavors on the palate are preserved to the end. |

Unmistakable - that's a Laphroaig! Phenolic smoke, citrus scent and some salty caramel. The fruit flavors are less present than I expected though, but they are still distinctively present. Although I can't clearly name a specific type of fruit, in any case, there is green-yellow fruit, more slightly pronounced than being lush and intense. Yet I am very happy. I'd say that the bottling has so far been able to keep up with the high quality level of previous years. |

Now, things are getting into their stride! A very pleasant sweetness surprisingly covers the peaty notes, but then makes room for rather dry, tart fruity and smoky accents. This is what I wanted for the Cairdeas! It's so tasty! |

Wonderfully long aftertaste. Not a peat monster, but there's definitely lovely smoke noticeably present. Complemented by salty, iodine-rich nuances, some cold ash and dried tobacco leaf. Everything fits together perfectly! |

Top, at least as good as the 2016 Madeira and that was a dream to sip away!

The nose is quite fragile, although there are signature medical notes (also bandages with flowers) and peat with citrus... Sweet and spicy at the same time, dry, oaky taste, the finish is also dry and spicy, but short-lived. 21.5-22-21-21.5
