Суммаризация отзывов
Laphroaig 25-year-old описывают как очень дымный и торфяной для своего возраста, но при этом мягкий, сливочный и хорошо сбалансированный, с длинным финишем. Часть отзывов отмечает, что он пьётся моложе заявленного возраста и уступает в сложности.
развернуть подробно
В отзывах виски чаще всего характеризуют как необычно дымный и торфяной для 25 лет — торфяной характер называют живым, интенсивным и даже более выраженным, чем ожидалось от столь выдержанного виски. При этом неоднократно подчёркивается мягкость и сливочность: маслянистая текстура, мёд, ваниль, фрукты (яблоко, персик, цитрусовые, тропические ноты), а также йод, морские и лекарственные оттенки. Финиш в большинстве описаний длинный или очень длинный, тёплый, с дымом, торфом, дубом и фруктами; некоторые называют его исключительно долгим и богатым.
Вместе с тем ряд отзывов указывает на недостаток сложности и глубины: виски кажется пьющимся моложе своего возраста, финиш иногда описывают как средний или короткий, а дуб — как доминирующий. Отмечается также, что он мягче и менее агрессивен, чем ожидается от Islay, и что цена не всегда оправдана. Общий тон — качественный, узнаваемо лафройговский виски с сильным торфом и хорошим балансом, но не для всех столь же впечатляющий, как предполагает возраст.

| Нос | 89 | As soon as Baehyangnam opened, the peat flavor remained alive longer than expected, smoked meat, honey pear or honey apple, medicinal scent, roasted peanuts, cacao extract. |
| Вкус | 90 | Lemon: the more you swirl it in your mouth, the milder the peat becomes, but it intensifies again the moment it goes down the esophagus. The cask appears to have a high proportion of bourbon cask and is peatier than expected. Usually, the peat weakens as it ages, but it feels like the medicinal peat hasn't died down? Pineapple and lemon citrus. If I had blind-tested it, I think I would have thought it was under 20 years old. It has bourbon-style peat with visible nutty notes. Nutty and sweet nuts. There is also a sense of seaweed and sea breeze. |
| Финиш | 89 | A very long and rich finish; the peat sensation is felt from the back of the throat to the esophagus. The peat level was about 6 in the N herbal notes and 4 in the P, but the peat sensation gradually increases in the finish. |

S 7 If young Laphroaig is a punch on the face at the hospital, this is subtle coastal breeze through skin that shows the gentle side of Islay. It’s an unfortunate it lacks the power to push through and finish at a relative low.
нос · вкус · финиш
| Нос | 89 | White lily and refreshing citrus. Ashy smoke from burning garden mint and fresh oak. Haribo fruit gums. A whiff of black pepper and coastal breeze. A drop of iodine solution. Impressive balance between mellow oak influence and smoothen Laphroaig distillate. |
| Вкус | 89 | The peat and oak spices are much bolder than I expected, thanks to the abv and perhaps a vat of relatively tired casks. Crushed peppercorn. Vibrant bonfire with sandalwood as source. A subtle touch of salinity augmenting the otherwise overly sugary fruits. A thin layer of oak oil layering over the palate, slowly drying and satisfying. |
| Финиш | 86 | Long, moderately dry. Echos the palate but the oak has taken over here. Was expecting a little more peat smoke and fruits can carry on till the end. |

Uncommonly smoky / peaty for a malt of this age, even smokier than the old 15yo (cardboard box). Dry, grassy with zesty hints, as well as ashy with vegetal and medicinal undertones and hints of nutmeg and cinnamon, and luckily only traces of cloves. It's nearly flawless at what it does, it's high in volume and has a sufficient balance, but it lacks depth, complexity and character, especially considering it's age. Initially the finish is quite short really, but a nice afterglow builds up after a few sips. It's a modern character Laphroaig that drinks a lot younger than it's age statement suggests. The natural presentation in cask strength saves this Laphroaig a few points, but it's still nothing to be remembered. Price-performance-ratio is only good for having a laugh imo.

While it falls slightly short of the proofed-down Bessie in terms of overall nose harmony, the palate and finish deliver a vastly superior length and a far more impressive overall impression.
нос · вкус · финиш
| Нос | 88 | Grapefruit, lemon, smoky, medicinal, dried fig, mango, bacon, yellow floral, green tea, red bean, wet wood, newspaper, coconut. Opens with a sharp, vibrant burst of citrus peel. The peat profile leans more toward dry smoke rather than medicinal or maritime tones. A substantial sweet foundation emerges, featuring dried fig, tropical mango, coconut, and sweetened red bean (reminiscent of shaved ice toppings). Forest-like aromas drift through via wet wood, yellow blossoms, and grassy green tea. While bourbon cask markers dominate initially, a dusty newspaper note gradually unfolds with time. |
| Вкус | 89 | Cocoa butter, lemon, apple, hazelnut, mint, green tea, salt, honey, fig, mineral. Cocoa butter hits the palate first with a rich, silky presence. Zesty lemon citrus pairs with sweet and tart fresh apple notes. Oily richness carries through via nutty hazelnut, dry unbrewed green tea leaves, and a cool minty lift. A clean sweetness emerges, closely resembling acacia honey. Classic Islay influence grounds the palate through crisp sea salt and a stony mineral edge. |
| Финиш | 89 | Citrus pith, grapefruit pith, wet wood, coconut, mango, newspaper, pineapple, lemongrass, smoky, white floral, vanilla, maritime. Cheek-aeration immediately brings forward the bitter-sweet dryness of citrus and grapefruit pith. Forest-like undertones return through wet wood, crisp lemongrass, and soft white florals. A rounded, blended mix of tropical fruit notes lingers in the background. Classic Islay markers like maritime salt and gentle smoke remain steadily present, though entirely devoid of medicinal peat. Exhaling deeply leaves a faint, trailing warmth of soft vanilla. |

N: fruity, intensely creamy, delicate smoke from an extinguished campfire, some honey, some vanilla, some milk chocolate. G: creamy, oily, some fruit, some smoke, nice interplay, still soft, perfect alcohol strength. A: only slightly dry, spicy again, tannins, also citrus-fresh, rather mouth-watering, stimulating.

Laphroaig, 25 years old and 53.4° on the clock: All the delicacy of the classic Cadbury blend: more dry peat, more licorice, more candied citrus fruits, fragrant spices, a zest of paradise, in fact A peaty, medicinal, and earthy nose, cooked vanilla, fruit reminiscent of orchard fruits in jam, then exotic fruits over peppery spices and green peppercorns A fruity and peaty palate, the maritime peat less pronounced, a touch of hazelnut caramel, and the peat returning and amplifying the aromas, just perfect; a hint of eucalyptus. A long, tenacious finale.

Ripe apple, honey, and vanilla. Gentle peat smoke with sweet fruits, including apricot, banana, and apple. Peach and coastal seaweed on the palate. Delicate peat smoke throughout, showing the elegance and depth of a well-aged whisky.

A perfect balance between iodine notes, a dirty yet elegant peat, paved with soot and medicinal hints, and shimmering fruits: papaya, pineapple, flambéed banana, lychee, white grape, mirabelle plum, lime, a touch of vanilla, and old wood. On the palate, thick honey, melting caramel, peaches, orgeat syrup, and rosewater emerge behind a thick, vegetal, but very well-tamed peat. Discreet and varied spices. A superb, incredibly long finish with coal nuggets, soot here and there, lemon tart, bewitching smoke, balsamic vinegar, baked apples, and rustic grains. Dried seaweed and damp ash complete the experience. The qualities of youth – vigor, peaty intensity – and the qualities of age – subtlety, complexity, cask influence – combine here to make a complete whisky. https://ilikesky2020.blogspot.com/2026/05/laphroaig-25-yo-cask-strength-2022.html

A great contrast, especially on the nose, multifaceted and varied with a wide range of aromas. This provides a good insight into the island of Islay. On the palate, it's tamed but pure Laphroaig, direct, and uncompromising; the finish is endlessly long with ups and downs and a beautiful interplay. A wonderful whisky - 10.05.2025

If the 10 years tasted like this I would rate it higher. But considering the price and what you get in your glass. Mehh. I expected more. Was something wrong with it? Yes, the price! He was too easy for an Islay. I drink Islay because I want to get punched in the face. And don't want to be petted.

I'm tasting against the 25 year old Bessie, compared to which it's more harsh and aggressive, although it's undoubtedly a great whisky with a distinctive and recognizable profile.

Unquestionably Laphroaig in character—but not quite the kind of “official Laphroaig” profile I personally had in mind.
нос · вкус · финиш
| Нос | 89 | Despite being bottled into a vial immediately after opening, alcohol prickle is surprisingly restrained for a 53% ABV whisky. Compared to any other well-aged Laphroaigs I’ve tried, this one feels markedly peat-forward, with plenty of lemon and light grapefruit-like citrus. Had this been a blind tasting, I doubt I would have pinned it as a 25-year-old. Classic Laphroaig traits—iodine, medicinal notes, and tar—are present in abundance. Likely influenced by the sherry casks, there are salty bacon notes alongside burnt barley and a nutty savoriness reminiscent of macadamia. A faint but clear yellow apple note (Cinano Gold–like), slightly evocative of apple cider vinegar, also emerges. With time in the glass, coconut flesh and a minty lift begin to rise, accompanied by a subtle touch of plum. As a Laphroaig fan, it’s hard not to appreciate this unapologetically “peat-forward” profile, but considering the age, the overall aromatic spectrum feels somewhat narrow. |
| Вкус | 87 | Again, alcohol impact is modest for the strength, with a notably heavy body and creamy texture. As expected from the nose, Laphroaig’s signature peat and maltiness take center stage on the palate. Burnt barley, tar, and chimney soot–like smoke dominate, but then come briny razor clam notes, a metallic rusted-coin character, and lactic notes reminiscent of infant formula. Personally, these feel like off-notes—ones I’ve never expected or encountered in official Laphroaig bottlings, regardless of age—making this phase somewhat perplexing. Mid-palate, the peat continues while the brininess subsides, giving way to toffee, béchamel sauce–like creamy savoriness, and cloves. With time in the mouth, the off-notes largely disappear, leaving behind toffee, béchamel-like richness, soft coconut flesh, and hints of roasted almonds. |
| Финиш | 88 | In the retronasal finish, iodine, smoke, and burnt barley dominate, joined by black pepper, tar, lemon zest, and imagery of squid grilled over heavily soot-covered charcoal. Subtle hints of bacon and eucalyptus linger in the background. On the palate, burnt barley, tar, and smoke remain central, supported by creamy béchamel notes, toffee, and hazelnuts, with faint touches of spearmint and eucalyptus. |

In a blind tasting I might even have given the whisky 91 points. The nose is beautiful, with only subtle smoky aromas that only complement the fruity and sweet aromas and do not overpower them. Just as a mature Islay should be. The nose is a little too smooth and not particularly complex, but that doesn't make it any less beautiful. The palate is at least as round and then develops even more full-bodied in the mouth. Wonderful. Unfortunately, considering the specs, the mouthfeel is a bit disappointing, not sustainable or impressive. The finish is only medium-long and clearly too fleeting for a 25-year-old whisky with over 47 percent. All in all, a beautiful pleasure whisky for the moment, but one that is not remembered for long. Still flawless and of high quality.

On the nose: Toffee and smoke meet bright tangerine and sea salt. Plenty of peachy stone fruit (drupe) influence.

| Нос | 89 | Toffee, smokey, tangerine, salty, and peachy Drupe scent comes out well. |
| Вкус | 91 | It boasts a thick, syrupy body with remarkably low burn, even when held on the palate for a while. The sweet and tangy profile, reminiscent of lemon cake, is truly impressive. As it lingers, the acidity and sweetness only grow more intense. |
| Финиш | 91 | The finish is exceptionally smooth with no rough edges, leaving a long, effortless trail of soft smoke and lingering sweetness. |
