Суммаризация отзывов

Отзывы описывают этот Laphroaig Cairdeas 15-year-old как хорошо сбалансированный, торфяно-дымный виски с морскими, цитрусовыми и ванильно-сладкими нотами, часто отмечая, что при 43% он мягче и менее мощный, чем хотелось бы некоторым.

развернуть подробно

В текстовых отзывах этот виски чаще всего описывают как хорошо сбалансированный и комплексный, с дымным торфяным характером, морскими и йодисто-лекарственными нотами, цитрусами, ванилью и сладостью от выдержки в бурбонных бочках. Несколько отзывов отмечают мягкость и элегантность по сравнению с другими Laphroaig, а также то, что дым здесь не подавляет остальные ароматы. Некоторые прямо сравнивают его с классическим 15-летним и 18-летним Laphroaig, находя его менее фруктовым и более сухим или «серьёзным», а также отличающимся от юбилейного 15-летнего релиза. Вместе с тем в отзывах неоднократно звучит критика: крепость 43% воспринимается как недостаточная — многим хотелось бы больше «мощи» и тела, а финиш иногда называют коротковатым. Часть отзывов считает цену завышенной относительно качества, а один называет этот релиз самым слабым из опробованных Cairdeas. При этом общий тон остаётся скорее положительным: его называют приятным, вкусным и достойным, хотя и не для всех оправдывающим ожидания.

What Goethe said! having a sample of both (i had the 200th 15yo) in a blind h2h tasting i am very relieved to see that this one is a very different animal, sadly as well 43% you would think, but this one actually gets away with it pretty well. The 200th i never really liked, i found it too fruity, too 'weak' in the peat department. It's like a smoky pineapple juice :0) This 15yo however is much less tropical fruit and much more peaty, exactly how i like my phroaigs! The nose isn't the best i've had, but it's ok. The taste & finish is where it's at. TCP & seaweeds :p The difference to me is just staggering.curious to know how it would stand against the 18yo, cuan mor, lore,...

Medicinal iodine, bandages, finely tart vanilla sweetness, robust spice, some pepper. A few herbs, liquorice, tobacco. Medium-length finish with smoky chilli spiciness, ash with lemon aromas come out of the nose on the exhale 86 points

gossm01 Connoisseur 91 14 nov 2024 7:22 pm

It has an oily viscosity and its bouquet is of relatively high intensity. I have aromas of pleasant maritime peat smoke, vanilla, creme brulee, shortbread, hay, marzipan, pipe tobacco, leather, citrus and apricot. Moderately complex malt. A good balance between sweetness and dryness in terms of taste. The alcohol is well integrated and it has a heavy body.

Нос	82	Soft, sweet, and smoky – like warm peat wafting over vanilla and light fruits. A hint of herbs and maritime freshness completes the picture.
Вкус	86	Sweet, creamy, and deep – like a golden stream of honey flowing over smoldering peat. Citrus, vanilla, and a subtle spiciness combine with a warm veil of smoke.
Финиш	85	Long, warm, and balanced. Sweet smoke, oak, and citrus evoke the feeling of a quiet evening by the fire.

Blindtasting tip: Somehow I have the feeling of a Bowmore with 40% from the Bourbon barrel. Conclusion: If a few percent more would be in it, it would be high up. But he was probably already made for the slightly wider mass. Makes a difference from the 2017 Cairdeas QC and this one ;-)

whiskycuse Expert Senior — 28 jul 2018 12:17 pm

Before I had this malt in the jar, I wondered if it would just be the normal 15 yo with another label. But now I can say that these malts have less in common than expected. The tangy fruitiness and playfulness of the regular version is not even to begin with. The Cairdeas is a serious malt, dry, very rough and something for the winter. It has a little more depth and wood influence in the taste, which gives it a little more power than it is the case at 15 yo. Since I really liked the fruity parts of the regular 15-year-old Laphroaig, I would definitely prefer it! https://whiskycuse.wordpress.com/2018/07/28/laphroaig-15-yo-cairdeas-43-vol-ob-2017/

Cairdeas tasting side to side. Samples: Feis Ile 2016, 15yo 2002, Feis Ile 2018. General thoughts: Very enjoyable drams, great on the nose although unusual as they all lack power, smokiness and seemed too diluted, somewhat bitter. I rated them 82, 83, 83 in that order. Tag price is abusive for them all.

He does not necessarily pull my shoes off and the price including shipping is in the end, in my opinion, a lot too high, but all in all, a good to drink whisky. As new 15er for around 60 € that would be completely ok.

Koloman Expert Senior 90 16 nov 2017 6:56 pm

If you like the simple knit, rather one-dimensional Laphroaigs a la Quarter Cask, you will not be able to do anything with this bottling. It is complex, subtle, requires time and mindfulness, and can always surprise. It can best be compared with the ingenious 18-year-old, of whom there are unfortunately only remnants. And one more thing: even if he only has 43%, he can handle a lot of water, making it even rounder and more complex.

OAOAOAOA Newbie 83 26 nov 2017 8:54 pm

Weak Laphroaig! Nose is great, a lot of typical 'Laphroaig medicine', very much Laphroaig. But the taste is very weak. The price is a joke for such a minor quality. 15 years? This cannot help, here. Unfortunately.The other Cairdeas from 2017, the Cairdeas Quarter Cask CS, 2017, is much better because it also has this great typical Laphroaig nose. But not only nose but also taste. And it is stong. It is 6 (+/-) years only but it has more character than this 15 year old guy.A LAPHROAIG SHOULD NEVER BE WEAK. Unfortunately this one is weak!

Water addition: At only 43% you should expect that water is not recommended, but I also advise here at least a few drops: The malt is in the nose a little more complex, the smoke / iodine note is intense, the sweetness continues to Conclusion: What a dram! I had expected something completely different, plus the relatively low alcohol content. But he just totally flashed me. Tasty, tasty, complex nose, beautiful fruit that missed me a long time but loved banana note. The nose is awesome, unfortunately a few prints in the taste and in the finish, because a few more percent would have done him good and he would have easily gone over 90 points. Nevertheless, almost a revelation - 89 points

нос · вкус · финиш

Нос	92	What a cool nose! Rather laphroaighuntypisch holds the mezinische smoke here rather something back and occasionally goes to coal dust, instead trumpft it with many beach / sea flavors (pebble beach, algae and oysters) on. In addition, an incredibly great fruitiness, reminiscent of older Laphis from the 80s / 70s. I find apples, some pineapple and many tropical fruits like mango and papaya in the glass, as well as the Laphi banana note, which has often been missing in recent years. He looks very creamy and despite the 43% very full in the nose, the Bourbon barrels add a lot of caramel, vanilla and some coconut shell - very complex and complex
Вкус	88	creamy mouthfeel, great sweetness of the first fill bourbon casks, then the thicker iodine smokes around the tongue, again great fruit notes, subtle oak spice, vanilla, and bergamot (earl-gray tea)
Финиш	87	long, if not as long as with alcoholic bottlings, here is the laphira again a bit more discreet, the intense fruitiness is with mango, lemon banana there, accompanied by some oak, vanilla, the oak is more spicy, in addition to the notes of bergamot and black tea

Well balanced whisky. Everything is consistently and well-adjusted. Claimed on a bottle of a degree does not correspond to a feeling, whisky is quite informative, no pristnosti (in the blind would give somewhere 52-54 degrees). I really like this classic Laphroaig profile.

The peaty nose mostly bothers me with Laphroaig, but in the mouth the Cairdeas is nice and filling, complex and very sweet, which is only accentuated by light peat. The finish is a bit short for a 15-year-old whisky, but just as nice and sweet.

Original quote from the friends of laphroaig email: "the award winning 15 Year Old was discontinued in 2009. A big favourite among Friends of Laphroaig, it was brought back in 2015 as a one-off limited edition in honour of our distillery’s bicentenary. Much heralded, we have since been inundated with requests for it to be brought back again, and more permanently. Distilled over the course of 2002, and matured in first-fill ex-bourbon barrels, it’s a truly great dram. The wood in its prime, the barrels are responsible for the whisky’s deep gold colour, the extra vanillas, and those spicy notes you get on the nose; while the length of time it has spent in the warehouse makes for a fine balance of smoke and tropical fruit esters, the final result is a unique expression." Nothing to add, really like it. Still hoping for 46/48%

Surprisingly smoky with at least 15 years. Not a huge litter, but still a very solid and well-balanced Laphroaig, which with its 43% is neither too soft nor too overwhelming.

нос · вкус · финиш

Нос	89	The typical for Laphroaig medical smoke with approaches of Hansaplast and hospital "fragrance" in general, as well as rain-soaked asphalt shows up immediately, however, due to the 15-year maturation period, beautifully dignified and restrained. Sea flavors (seaweed, seaweed, salt, marine diesel), beautifully combined with a hint of green apples and pears.
Вкус	89	Heavy smoke, much more intense on the tongue than in the nose. Soft and velvety, oily at the beginning, but quickly drying. Salt liquorice and oak chips. Less fruity than in the nose, the smoke prevails and stands like a wall in the mouth.
Финиш	88	Medium long, ashen and dry, with oak, vanilla and now again sweetness of apples and pears.

Very complex TCP influenced Laphroaig Cairdeas. Right from the beginning you know this won't be easy. Compared with the Laphroaig 15-year-old (WB-ID: 35), Laphroaig 15-year-old (WB-ID 65104) and the Laphroaig 18-year-old (WB-ID: 42886) side by side this 1st Fill Ex-Bourbon Barrels 15 year old Cairdeas is quite dominant on the nose and very complex too. This Laphroaig is not as peppery as the old 15 year old, but got the right amount of TCP and medicinal smoke. Happily not as floral as the 200 year anniversary version and not as light. Maybe you could compare it to the 18 year old (white label), but this one is not as fruity due to the 1st Fill Ex-Bourbon Barrels, it's more into the herbal white wine direction like the Laphroaig An Cuan Mòr. Yes, this is a great mature mix of the An Cuan Mòr and the 18 year old. Love it. Concerning price/performance ratio: 9/10

KayMeertens Connoisseur 88 25 nov 2017 9:17 pm

Compared it to the classic 15YO (ID 35) and the 18YO (42886). More sherried, more spicy, more malty but less fruity than both of those.

This latest Cairdeas is quite the thought-provoking bottling. The juicy fruits and high-impact vanilla generally work well with the underlying distillery fire and brimstone character (which is somewhat diminished compared to some OBs), but whilst the herbal notes will probably sit well with some, to my palate, they come across slightly dusty and oddly powdered. Nevertheless, there’s some complexity and subtlety here. Is it a like-for-like replacement of the dearly departed original 15 year old (purportedly Prince Charles’s favourite Scotch)? – nope – this is a quite the different animal. https://www.thedramble.com/tastings/laphroaig/laphroaig-cairdeas-15-year-old-/

A wonderfully matured Laphroaig, dangerously drinkable, low ABV but still rich.

You might think it is rather obscure or unspectacular in the nose, but there are gradually more layers, and it's fun to feel them in their harmonious sequence. This is a delicious and extraordinary stuff, a bit rougher than the old 15yo but still elegant. He has not the direct body kingdom of the QC or CS, but remains on the fruity side. Very nice!

Нос	89	Gauze bandage dipped in salt water, camphor, some placard color and linseed oil varnish. Lime syrup, lemon curd in the peat bog on a dull autumn day. Stone covered with seagrass at low tide, ripe bananas and then everything again in alternation.
Вкус	88	Silky soft tangerine juice, wet wood, then a longer wave of campfire and peat smoke flavors, lard, hmm, water running in the mouth. Despite its distinct Laphroaig character light and elegant, not in your face.
Финиш	87	It develops a pronounced Zartbittereiche, reminiscent of chocolate with 80% cocoa content, the salivation continues for quite a while. Fruit and peat wort dance Tango!
