Суммаризация отзывов

Lagavulin 12-year-old описывают как дымный, торфяной и солёный виски с цитрусовыми, ванильными и травянистыми нотами, часто маслянистый; мнения о нём расходятся — от похвалы до критики за цену, молодость и дисбаланс.
развернуть подробно
В большинстве отзывов профиль этого розлива описывают как дымный и торфяной, с морскими и солёными нотами, цитрусом, специями и перечным/пряным характером, ванильными и травянистыми оттенками и часто маслянистой текстурой. Часть дегустаторов считает его сложным, мощным и дымным молодым Lagavulin с нотами дыма, смолы, мяса, иода, морской соли, цитруса и сладости, а также длинным финишем, и надёжным представителем серии Special Release. При этом неоднократно отмечается, что виски требует времени в бутылке или добавления воды — иначе он «закрыт» и резок. Однако мнения заметно расходятся, и есть выраженно критические отзывы: слишком дорого за то, что предлагается, недостаточно сложности, «слишком молодой и незрелый», избыток обугленного дуба, слишком лёгкое тело, горькость, короткий или слабый финиш и нетипичные для Lagavulin ноты. Часть дегустаторов считает его посредственным, «тенью себя прежнего» и уступающим более ранним выпускам, жалуясь на недостаток баланса и неприятные ароматы вроде серы и «нефти». Отдельная линия недовольства — использование новой древесины (virgin oak): одним она мешает во вкусе и особенно в финише, тогда как другие называют её тонкой и удачной; влияние virgin oak также связывают с менее чистым и менее элегантным профилем. Мнения о финише расходятся — от короткого и быстро угасающего до долгого, тёплого и дымного. Встречается и противоречие внутри одного опыта: два образца одной и той же бутылки дали разный профиль — один классический фруктово-торфяной, другой более «терруарный».

First impression after opening the bottle: Oh dear - what did they do with one of my favorite SRs. After 30 minutes in the glass - It develops very well. In direct comparison to the 2021 version (which I didn't like very much) already better. I will now do the same as the last few years: Enjoy 2 drams - bottle 10cl for later and set the remaining bottle aside for at least 3-6 months. All Lagavulin SR bottlings that I was allowed to test were then better. I'm looking forward to it and I'm curious if this bottling can follow the 2019 version. My summary this year: The Talisker convinced me and is my favorite this year. The Lagavulin is on hold because it always has a few points in the open bottle catching up. Next up this year is the Cardhu worth mentioning as far as the sweet ones go likes notes of rum finish. The singleton is ok, but goes very much in the wine direction. Everyone else disappointed me. Unfortunately I haven't been able to try the Cameronbridge yet My ranking of the SR 2022: Talisker 11-year-old 88 Cardhu 16-year-old 87 Lagavulin 12-year-old 86 (it gets better! towards 88+) Singleton 15-year-old 86 Oban 10-year-old 85 Clynelish 12-year-old 84 Mortlach NAS 82 Cameronbridge 26-year Not tested

I like it too! Remains a little behind the last bottling - but this may also be due to the fact that it had to compete against significantly lower expectations. A very honest, uncomplicated Islay malt that has everything I want in a malt. Of course, the price of around €130 is no slouch. Since the 2021 is available for the same price, it would probably end up in my car in a direct comparison. Nevertheless, a nice bottling that I enjoy and has a nice twist in the spicy corner thanks to the Virgin Oak Cask.

A classic Lagavulin with modern accents, offering plenty of power and structure. Less sweet than previous editions, but more precise, drier, and somewhat "edgier" in the best sense.
нос · вкус · финиш
Нос92Intense Islay smoke with typical Lagavulin depth. Iodine, campfire ash, plus citrus freshness, vanilla, and slightly sweet virgin oak. Very direct and powerful.
Вкус94Dry, intense, and highly structured. Strong peat smoke, salt, lemon zest, and maritime notes. Underlying these are vanilla, pepper, and a slightly sweet wood spice. The virgin oak component adds further sharpness and tension.
Финиш93Very long, dry and smoky. Ash, sea salt, oak and a delicate citrus freshness remain dominant and clearly defined.

I can't help it, but these diesel-like Lagavulin wines always seem too young and immature to me. This one is no exception; it's just not enough. Not unlike the standard 8-year-old.

bought at SGD 120. elegant peat on the nose, somehow makes me think of cactus and other greens in a desert. not too strong on the plate, you can tell it is a Lagavulin. finishing is a bit spicy, and warm from mouth to throat, not very long tho. might be 85 points but at this price, it is good.

Нос86N- Rush of thick misty wet plant nursery, mosses, floral, and sour juniper. Sort oily and eucalyptus, with lingering brined thyme-d herring at the tail. If sample B offering the classic tropical fruit/peat of Lagavulin, this version steered away from it and emphasizes on terroir. And they done it in an applaud manner, just my opinion. (88/22)
Вкус86P- Full, dry mouthfeel like sips on a virgin blewed of strong black tea. Naturally medicinal, with alluring smoked fish oil. (87/21)
Финиш86F- Medium, briny, spicy, and mouthwatering. (87/21) BB- 88/22. Let’s just assumed both bottles are vatted separately before bottling. The average casks’ age for A are probably older than the B. I probably like A a bit more for the modesty of its smokes that being tendered with longer aging time. Weighted Rate- 86pt

WhiskeryTurnip Connoisseur 80 05 jun 2026 8:23 pm
Wood-fired stoves and toasted chestnuts offered a nutty smoke over the top of more acrid tar and putty. Freshly dug river clay and a bit of dry peat to fuel the stove when the wood burns out, the aroma balanced earth and sea with tar and musk— sometimes I am amazed that I cannot buy a Lagavulin scented aftershave (or can I?) Medium-bodied on the palate with a bright peppery arrival— plenty of toasted black peppercorns, pink rock salt, and bay leaves. Burning wood and peat provided smoke, vanilla, earth, and grassy elements— a dirty combination that did not burn clean. More tar and resin arrived near the end as the peppercorns popped in for a final time and a more acrid and slightly bitter goodbye. The finish was medium-length and quite peppery with subtle citrus and soft brine. Label aside, this was more or less in line with previous years. It was not as clean and well-defined as some of earlier iterations, and the finish was never as long as I wanted, but it was close enough in my book. It was about as straightforward a Lagavulin as you are likely to find and it remains a predictably solid part of the Special Release lineup. I felt that the New Oak element was not overdone, but I wondered if it was responsible for the slightly messier flavor profile. Overall, dependable and tasty, though I still find the label less classy and timeless than the older ones.

Picked up the 200ml version from The Whisky Exchange in London. At first open, it seems a bit harsh, but once poured, the beautiful Lagavulin smoke and flavour comes out. Its a slightly bit petrolic, a bit salty with a dash of sea spray, and some sweetness comes out as well. Althought this is a very solid Lagavulin CS from Diageo, I wouldn't rate it as one of their better ones - the ones released a few years prior were absolute crackers, especially the 2014 version (IIRC)...

Tasted during Vilnius Whisky Fest 2023, was surprised about ABV because before the very first sip I didn't have any ideas about it, and it tasted so strong even with few drops of water. Do be honest this is very usual Laga for me, nothing extra and very poor finish (even my glencairn lost any smells after few minutes).

It's spicy and bitter in a bad way. I suspect low quality virgin oak casks are dominantly used in this bottle. I loved the classic lagavulin 16; this one is nothing like it.

Quick tasting next to 2023 and 2021, I kind of like this one, very astringent/tangy, but would put it next to the 2021 in terms of quality, with the 2023 a couple steps behind. The nose beats palate on the 2022, with some nice industrial/oily notes.

This 2022 Lagavulin 12-year-old is affected by Virgin Oak and has lost the fineness and elegance of previous batches. To be fair, it is still drinkable, but this is not the Lagavulin 12-year-old I want.
нос · вкус · финиш
Нос89The base notes are still within the range of SR Lagavulin 12-year-old: lemongrass, lemon, sea salt, leather and peat. However, perhaps due to the influence of Virgin Oak, the balance is not very good, the barrel suppresses the peat, and the flavor is not clear enough. This situation has improved after decanting, earning 2 points for itself.
Вкус87The influence of Virgin Oak is even more prominent when you take a sip. The strong oak tastes like a cooked IPA. This flavor is very comprehensive and loses the soft advantage of Lagavulin 12-year-old in the past. The flavor layers are not open in the mouth. But to be fair, the camphor, fat, wool, leather and other characteristics are still within the scope of traditional Lagavulin 12-year-old.
Финиш87Medium length, lemon, ashes of burning wool, lemon juice. The peat is not as penetrating as in previous batches, so the aftertaste doesn't feel that long.

More disappointing than last year. Very medicinal, peaty, straightforward dram The finish falls off way too quickly for a "smokies reserve" distillate.

Clean and mineral driven peat but lacks contrasting elements to reflect off of one another. I have used to buy these every year and have slowly dropped from yearly to every other year or two. I’m not sure if I need to keep buying this while I have earlier releases open and unfinished.

When you think of Lagavulin, you can feel the subtle scent of flowers that come to mind and the pit that seems to have flipped the soil of the meadow.
SigorJabzong Member Senior 87 22 apr 2024 12:27 pm
The scent has a strong firewood-like smoky scent like Ardbec, followed by a savory yet refreshing citrus scent reminiscent of lemon. The taste is sweet and savory with a strong smoky flavor. There is no lactic acid taste at all, there is a slight citrus and the smokiness lingers for a long time. It's quite attractive that it slides down the neck so smoothly that you wouldn't believe it's a CS.

Matured on refill American oak and virgin oak. N: Immediately quite peaty and smoky on the nose with fish oil, roasted pine nuts, smoldering hearth and even goat stable. In fact, I also get cauliflower, fish oil, raw steak and something from oysters and plasticine. Fascinating! S: On the palate, the party continues with peat, pepper, apples and vanilla, but also fatty white fish (raw turbot) and vegetal notes such as seaweed. Woodsmoke galore. This is great. F: A wonderfully long, warm finish with both peat smoke and woodsmoke, intense herbs and a salty touch. C: Ah, the old faithful Laga 12 that is present year after year in this series... and year after year turns out to be one of the highlights.

Another item to write down in your notebook, in the "buy me necessarily" section. Lots of sweets, smoke, peat and citrus notes, and in the finish, additionally sour forest berries, make whisky unique and exceptional. I like this type of whisky.

It is wonderful, all rounded, no off notes. Very smoky. Old versions 2015-2018 of Lagavulin SR they had a speciality of off notes like perfume, etc.... But this year everything is clear and rounded. Now its up to you, whether you like whisky with surprise or prefer a clean. In my opinion maybe they added some chill filtration to reduce off notes. Just maybe, still it is great.

5cl Sample: Very fresh on the nose, sea breeze, mineral smoke, citrus fruit, lime, grapefruit, also a bit "potato" at the beginning, but this dissipates with time and a little water in the glass. Strong attack. Reasonably drinkable neat, considering the high alcohol content, but I still prefer the addition of water. This makes it even fresher on the nose and reduces the smoke somewhat. Fruity, fresh, and mineral on the palate, becoming even more mineral, salty, and slightly peppery as it develops. Good finish. Fun to drink, but not a super-whisky. It doesn't quite make the 87 for me today. Edit: 2nd Tasting: I like it a bit more today, and it achieves the "very good" rating with 87 points.

I am a fan of the brand Lagavulin! This whisky did not disappoint me either, it is amazing! The color is very light, like hay. The aroma is surprisingly little smoke, fresh, distinctly woody, very little iodine, the fruity sweetness is mild but pleasing. The taste is oily, dense, slightly malty, wonderfully smoky, spicy (white pepper), seaside salinity and something very green with a hint of iodine.... Simply very, very nice for long and lonely dinners! Thank you Lagavulin❤️

classic Laga 12 CS (despite the virgin oak content). A few drops of water help with the smell. The taste doesn't change much. Unfortunately, there's a bit too much alcohol here. In my comparison of three (2022/2021/2019), therefore, the middle. The virgin oak content doesn't bother me. I find it pleasant and subtle. This is surprising to me, given the many negative comments about the barrel composition.

Unfortunately not comparable with the previous versions. Far too many bad aromas like sulphur, petroleum, etc. The balance is missing. The price is outrageous. There are various standard bottlings that offer significantly more complexity and balance for half the price (e.g. Lagavulin 16, Talisker 10, Longrow, etc.).

Excellent complex stuff, just what you’d expect from a younger Lagavulin, full of flavor, complexity peatiness, and dirty. The Virgin cask finish is a clever choice. A no-brainer for Lagavulin and Islay fans.

Unfortunately, this bottling (in contrast to the 2021) could not really convince me. Really nice on the nose, but then in the mouth and especially on the finish, the new wood really bothers me. Does a single malt really need new casks? Or are/were bourbon barrels already scarce? Hope this isn't the future...
