развернуть подробно
В текстовых отзывах (14 штук) нет единого мнения. Несколько авторов отмечают баланс и интересный характер: один из отзывов описывает его как «более дубовую версию Torfa», где торф не подавляет, а даёт землистые и перечные ноты, с долгим финишем и горьким миндалём; ещё один отзыв хвалит «сладкий торф» и фруктовость без горечи, отмечая, что виски выигрывает от аэрации; другой отзыв находит «очень хорошо сбалансированным» с деликатным торфяным дымом, солью, дубом и длинным пряным финишем; один из отзывов говорит о «красивом опыте», хотя и называет его «слишком гладким, слишком простым». С другой стороны, ещё один отзыв считает вкус и финиш «очень одномерными и простыми», другой отзыв называет его «слабым Glenglassaugh», «очень свежим и молодым», несколько отзывов тоже указывают на молодость, а ещё один отзыв отмечает очень короткий финиш и «металлическую молодость».
По носам и вкусам в текстах повторяются дым/торф, ваниль, дуб, фрукты (яблоки, груши, цитрус), сладость/карамель, специи и перец; другой отзыв упоминает «слегка солёную-кислую» ноту и отсутствие морских или йодистых нот, один из отзывов — йодированный и минеральный характер, ещё один отзыв — ягодные ноты и соль. Оценки в текстах варьируются от 73 до 88, что отражает разброс впечатлений, а не консенсус.

The nose is quite interesting, and much more versatile and rich than taste and finish, which are very one-dimensional and simple.

| Нос | 85 | Initially a lot of smoke, pure woodfire smoke, and lapsang souchong tea. Then some sweetness and Indian Curry come through, yellow rice, saphran. And some roasted meat, bacon. Later on more farmy, cow stable hay. Pretty pleasant though. |
| Вкус | 82 | Pretty some power, smoke again, but sweeter now, with some caramel and milk chocolate. A bit of hay. |
| Финиш | 81 | Much smoother now, sweet smoke and ash, some honey. Not too long. |
Another interesting expression from Glenglassaugh Wood Finishes series. It might be defined a more woody version of Torfa, in which peat is not overwhelming at all, yet mostly gives some earthy and pepper notes to a crispy cereal overall taste. Despite an average young age, it results well balanced between sweetness and more spicy coastal notes. The finish is quite long, reminding of dried fruits and very nice bitter almonds. Worth discovering.

A good example to compare this whisky with some peated whiskies from Islay or other islands. Just to Discovery what different peat grounds and different regions can do to affect the complete experience. Fair whisky for a fair price. A finish that holds a little longer would make it more desirable.

Part of a cask enhancement tasting. I really like the stuff. It offers a nice sweet peat and just the right amount of the best of VO with a nice fruitiness and no bitterness. It profits from considerable airing. Tasted blind, Islay would be on the forefront of all the guesses.

Blind Tasting
Nose: strange but successful nose, somehow you feel reminded of a peated bourbon. The smoke goes towards charcoal, without maritime or iodine notes, although also a salty-slightly sour note resonates. The smoke is relatively light and does not kill the aroma. In addition, the aromas of fresh oak, especially vanilla and a subtle adhesive note come through. In addition still bright fruits (peach, pear) Taste: it starts on the tongue with vanilla and fruit, then the smoke beats stronger than the nose can expect. Finish: here the smoke dominates with some vanilla notes, it is also much saltier than before. Overall, the finish is very short, the sweet oak sounds but along with the smoke pleasantly, even a slight Chilicatch appears, but it also drifts towards metallic youth. With water: the fruits turn yellow (ripe mirabelles Conclusion: Oh, that's very surprising. It will not do any favor, but I think this station wagon quite well. Of course he is still very young, maybe even too young. But the new oak tames the young distillate, and peat smoke usually also helps to paint over to youthful omens. But the Destilleriecharakter goes on the other side also pretty much. With water he gets even more interesting - 82 points

You really feel the materiality of the wood, as if you could touch it. Dig into it, with the splinters digging into the fingernails. The wood must have been toasted, there is a slight smoke. Everything is iodized and mineral, more on clay than gypsum or limestone. White but light fruits, on the plum. Honey. Mouth also very woody, varnished and smooth wood, but a little bitter. Too simple. Spices, resin. Cumin, pepper. Nice aggressive, deep, earthy and smoky finish. Quinces and figs, again light. A beautiful experience, a little radical, where one has the impression of penetrating inside the wood. However, and it has already made this impression on me with the blank barrels, it seems to me too smooth, too simple, too unambiguous. https://ilikesky2020.blogspot.com/2021/10/glenglassaugh-peated-virgin-oak-wood.html

| Нос | 88 | Delicate smoke, soft berry notes, salt, spices, oak, orange zest, waxy lemon, and nuts. With water: fresher, saltier, oak, subtle farm notes, fern, juniper, valerian tincture, and comforting peat smoke. Truly excellent! |
| Вкус | 87 | Plenty of ripe red fruit, gentle peat smoke, salt, pepper, oak, damp earth, and robust spices. All in all, very well balanced. With water: berry-like, salty, peppery, delicate peat smoke, earth, oak, and barberries. |
| Финиш | 87 | Long, spicy oak and aromatic smoke. |
