General description

Lagavulin 16 YO разливается при крепости 43% алкоголя с холодной фильтрацией и коррекцией цвета. Стекло бутылки как бы немного закопчённое, в сочетании с рыжей пробкой смотрится эффектно. Виски созревает в рефильных бочках из под бурбона и хереса.
Ножки плотные, жирные, частые. Цвет янтарный.

Nose

Вкус насыщенный, глубокий. На первом плане дым, копоть, промасляная ветошь и ж/д шпалы. Если дать постоять, то позднее к аромату добавляется дым костра.

Palate

Вкус является продолжением аромата. Жжение, костер и подобные мотивы.

Finish

Финиш средней продолжительности.

EYE
Rich caramel with orange facets.

NOSE
Caramel and peat arrive at the scene first and threaten to take over but stop just short of domination. Orange zest, smoked meat, iodine, brine and some crisp red apples orbit the dense caramel and peat core. Overall there is a slight medicinal / novocain quality to the whole aroma that is more intriguing than it is off putting.

TASTE
Peaty upfront with that same iodine meets novocain quality hanging around. Burnt orange glaze, ash malt, subtle toffee, coffee cake, cinnamon and something a little hard to explain swims in the murky orange caramel depths. It’s like a vanilla mint pepper combo that adds a punchy sweetness.

FEEL
Oily and coating it’s a smooth and relaxing dram.

FINISH
Smoky malt fades to smoky oak fades to smoke for a long and savory finish.

43 94 Замечательный запах - хочется вдыхать полной грудью. запах моря. Вкус мощный но сбалансированный , в меру крепкий и какой то глубокий. Дым не такой как у других - представьте что вы с мороза зашли в избу, где ещё с вечера топили печку, в том числе торфом. Реально бодрит, 25 грамм дадут больший эффект чем фронтовые 100 водки перед атакой. Может из за такого виски шотландцы и назвали виски водой жизни? Послевкусие дымное и что то вроде горького шоколада. Второй раз эффект уже не такой яркий.

I got this at bar at Kuopio. Barteneder was a really nice guy and knew it's stuff regarding whisky. There was even a 25 year old macallan!

This whisky is really smoky, some seaweed and salt. Not much fruitiness, only smoke and floral notes, fresh leather, little bit of apples, some burnt rubber as well. On palate it is very charcoalish, burnt meat, it feels like I have drank charcoal spiced whisky. It is quite dry and bitter, not too bold. After taste is quite short, leaving smoky, burnt wood taste in mouth.

Interesting whisky, the most close to burnt wood, charcoal, but not my cup of tea necessarily.

В этом виски доя меня все идеально. Наверное, один из лучших, что я пробовал когда-либо.
Когда-то считал его самым лучшим виски в мире! Со временем удалось попробовать многое, и слово самый ушло потихонечку, но все остальное осталось... один из лучших в мире!
Тело плотное, маслянистое... очень красивый цвет.
Аромат очень мощный, сначала, конечно, это торф и железнодородная шпала. Кстати, запах шпал мне всегда безумно нравился. Потом запах яблок, даже печеных яблок, цитрусовые, чернослив, йод, соленое море... В какой-то момент мне даже кажется, что пахнет железнодорожной станцией, которая находится прямо у моря.
Вкус резкий сначала... при глотке эффект взрыва, при котором ты чувствуешь торф, шпалы, дым. Потом, когда взрыв проходит, ты понимаешь, что виски достаточно сладкий, много вкуса чернослива и шоколада. Потом йод и мазь, лекарственная мазь вместе с бинтом. А потом трава, орехи...и карамель.
Послевкусие очень долгое и приятное, со сладостью чернрслива, соли и специй и цитрусовыми на самом конце.
Очень... очень хорош. Всегда есть у меня в баре.

Smoky yet full bodied and balanced. Surprisingly peppy taste with a round and pleasant finish.

Nose

Earthy, round and smooth smoke. A tad oily. Not meaty and greasy and not like cold ash but somewhere in the middle. Muffled oakiness. Slight citrus. Some sweet caramel. Salt. Dark red fruit (forest fruit). Overall very rich, sweet and salty smoke.

Palate

Surprisingly punchy. Surprisingly strong alcohol for the % it has. Salt and brine. Oak covers the mouth. Dry. Pleasant smoke.

Finish

Very soft, full and smoky. Salt and maritime notes. Oak. Salt and oaky ash smoke lingers long.

It is very smoky but also sweet and quite mellow. The nose has a peat smell that is like a burning campfire with slightly wet firewood, and then notes of pineapple and orange peel in behind all of the smoke. The palate has the smoke and some iodin, with a finish that tastes like an unsweetened smoked fish. Really good whisky.

On the nose this one is incredible. Smoke, sweetness, peat and a bit of salinity from roasted beef. I could smell this all day. The palate confirms the nose, here it also adds a hint of vanilla. Lingering long in the mouth afterwards, this is a great whisky, without a doubt.

General description

How have I not actually reviewed this whisky yet!? It is certainly a classic and 100% worthy of a try from every whisky drinker on the planet, but I can't help but feel the hype makes this out to be the be all, end all "scotch drinkers scotch" which frankly it just isn't.

It is very good, and decently priced for what is an older core expression, but it is rather dull and lacking on the tongue and merely pretty good everywhere else.

There are definitely better Lagavulin's on the market (for the same price or less too) and there are definitely better Islay whiskies if you're wanting rich and smoky (hello there, Bunnahabhain Toiteach A Dha). That said, you serve this to me on a cool autumn night, sat next to an open fire and there is little else I could ever hope for in my glass.

Nose

Dark fruits, oils, brine, salt, smoke, clove and cinnamon spices. You name it, it is probably in here somewhere.

Palate

This is where this dram loses me. It is soft, watery, and just really quiet. Fruits and smoke play around in the background, but they're muffled and distinctly lacking.

Finish

Some of that Lagavulin oomph comes back here, presenting those richer oils and a denser, wetter smoke that is what I associate with this distillery. I just wish there was more of this from the get go.

My sixt whisky. A peated one this time. I was curious if I would like it and oh boy do l. I love the smell. It reminds me of my great grandfather (pipe, sigar smoking, leathery smell) and of my husband's days as a fireman (his suit smelled very much like smoke 😉). The whisky is smooth and it stays on my tongue a long time. Like smoked food / fish does and I love it.

General description

The Islay representative in the Classic Malts series is a deep, dry and exceptionally peaty bruiser. Probably the most pungent of all Islay Malts, Lagavulin is not for the faint-hearted but inspires fanatical devotion in its many followers.

Nose

Intensely concentrated flavour, massive Peat smoke with ultra-intense iodine. The fruity-sherry notes, vanilla and Lapsang Souchong.

Palate

A rich, dried fruit sweetness of the sherry character with clouds of strong smoke, barley-malt flavours. At the back of the mouth is an explosion of salty and peppery smoke.

Finish

Hugs, long, warming and peppery with a distinct appetising sweetness. A little spice lightens the grip of the Peat and vanilla.

Nose is bonfire embers, black pepper, sea salt, bitter toffee, honey, creme brulee.

The taste is a backbone of sweet caramel;: more of that creme brulee; and a smoky, peaty second taste. More black pepper and salt flakes.

The finish is charcoal, peppery peat, a little barrel spice, but a dry-rub smokiness. This is obviously a superior Scotch. Balanced, smoky, rich, salty, peppery and simply wonderful.

Je merkt aan deze whisky dat hij tijd heeft gehad, hij is rijp van geur en smaak, lange afdronk, laat hem 20 min staan in het glas, en hij wordt nog rijker van aroma.

It's difficult not to get overly passionate about this, but it's perfection to me. A quality expression, with spiralling complexity that goes way beyond the peat. It's rich and smooth and draws me in. It's like sitting by a fire and reading an old book with a stogie. Straw, salt, iodine, peat, honey. Thick, coating mouthfeel.

Pine forest fire and smoke, beautiful dried figs and grapes. A little date and sultanas. lastly a finish of Salt spray and seaweed

Palate

Sweet Dries fruits (prunes, plums and dates) and little caramel quickly followed by a wave of typical and delicious lagavulin peat and smoke, like a forest fire.

Finish

salt, and butter and more smoke with a little oak and Wood. A feeling of fresh mint lingers

Meinen ersten Lagavulin habe ich bereits im Jahr 1999 getrunken - und mich in diesen rauchigen Geschmack und in den Whisky verliebt. Damals war er noch eine Spur rauchiger als heute, im Abgang schmeckte er nach geräuchertem Schinken. Vor rund zehn Jahren nahm man ihm etwas Rauch weg, was leider zu einem kleinen Geschmacksverlust führte. Eigentlich schade, aber dennoch ist auch der heutige Lagavulin noch ein Top Whisky.

A classic, but probably slightly overrated.

Nose

Big smokey hit, gives way to medicinal iodine and vanillas that develop through the end of the nose

Palate

Again lots of smoke on the initial pallet, gives way to let sherry, vanilla, dried fruits and some spice develop through the mid, with a big peaty, leathery kick on the back of the pallet to finish.

Finish

Medium long with the more subtle notes lingering: sherry, spices and vanilla; oaky sweetness develops at the last.

Awesome. It's the way-to-malt for many people. I think that's very good but you can find better and cheaper bottles.

Iodine, peat, smoke and seaweed.

I don't know. this one is definitely the last of great smoky trio (ardbeg, Laphroaig, lagavulin). it is smoky but less than Laphroaig it has strong woody notes but little too spicy and astringent. it has some complexity and great start with long finish but very little in the middle. very good whisky but not mine favourite.

Ofcourse peaty, but when it comes to heavily peated whiskies, this one is a bit on the milder side, probably because it's older than most Islay whiskies. Other notes include brine, like seaweed, iodine, slightly meaty and oily, vegetal peat, slightly peppery and tobacco. Aside from dark, dried fruit notes, there's barely any sweetness, great stuff

Toller Whisky mit den unterschiedlichsten Aromen, die ich nie zuvor in einem Whisky gemeinsam gefunden habe.
Vielleicht ist dieser kein"Alltags-Whisky", aber dennoch eine besonders aromatische Odysee.

Nose

Am Anfang starke Rauchnote (geräuchterter Schinken) verbunden mit Meersalz oder Jod und Seetang, die mit der Zeit abklingen. Danach kommt eine süßliche, florale fruchtige Note (vielleicht Orange und Karamell) mit einer gewissen Frische.

Palate

Rauchige Note, aber dennoch sehr angenehm im Mund. Neutraler Geschmack. Algig und salzig

Finish

Langer Abgang mit Rauch und Seetang.

Rauchbombe. Kaum ist der Dram eingeschenkt füllt sich der Raum mit Rauch. Der Rauch geht für mich in die Richtung getäucherter Schinken. Hinter dem Rauch verbirgt sich Sherry, süß und fruchtig. Ich rieche Marille und leichten Zitrus (Zitronenschale).

Schönes Mundgefühl, keine störende alkoholische Schärfe. So wie man es halt bei einem Whisky dieses Alters erwartet.
Was mir nicht so gefällt ist ein etwas modriger, trockener Nachgeschmack. Der macht diesen Whisky für mich aber auch unverkennbar.

Insgesamt ein toller Tropfen, den man einmal probiert haben muss.

This is way too peated for me. I've had antiseptic cleansers that smelled (ans I'm sure tasted) better. If you like peated scotch, this is for youse.

After my third bottle, I finally got into this malt and understood why it is so greatly considered.
It deserves so, because of its perfect balance between smoke and wood, its flavoured taste and long lingering finish. This all makes it very enjoyable and a span above most of other peated malts.
Cheers!

One of the best whiskies there is, period. Beats out much older and more expensive offerings, and has a beautiful aromatic peat smoke with a deep complexity as opposed to the brashness of some other Islay distillers. A masterpiece.
