Суммаризация отзывов
Отзывы в целом описывают Glengoyne 21 как приятный, но неоднородный солод: часть отмечает сладость, шери и пряную дубовую сухость, часть — нехватку глубины и интенсивности для 21 года и цены. Многие сравнивают его с прежними версиями и считают нынешний вариант более лёгким и менее шери-выраженным.
развернуть подробно
В текстах повторяются сладкие и десертные мотивы: карамель, ирис, мёд, ваниль, шоколад, апельсин и сухофрукты, иногда с пряностями вроде корицы, гвоздики и белого перца. Некоторые отзывы прямо говорят о шери-влиянии, но подчёркивают, что это не «шери-бомба»: шери есть, однако он уступает место дубовой пряности, горечи и сухости. Финиш чаще описывают как средний или средне-длинный, сладкий и липкий либо пряно-дубовый и сухой; в отдельных случаях он кажется коротким.
Заметная линия отзывов — сравнение с прежними выпусками и ощущение снижения выразительности: нынешняя версия описывается как более закрытая, лёгкая, менее комплексная, иногда «разбавленная» и не оправдывающая цену. При этом часть отзывов хвалит нос как очень приятный и насыщенный, а вкус — как округлый и хорошо сделанный, хотя и без ожидаемой глубины. Общий тон скорее сдержанный: виски считают хорошим, но не выдающимся, с разбросом от «очень приятного» до «разочаровывающего» на фоне старых версий.

I get more light tropical fruits than dark sherry notes. Yet the wood bitterness which comes with the old age is noticable. Tastes like european oak to me, but not first fill sherry. A good whisky, but not compariable to its predecessor. If you want a good PLV and more sherry influence, maybe take a look at the Arran 18.

Another try of the 2024 current bottling. Seems a bit differently from previous versions, like even more refined, maybe a less sherry but not much. Whereas the old bottling always stood in the shadow of the 48% abv. Dronach Parliament 21, this is now it's own thing. Extremely pleasant nose, sweet but quickly dry on the tongue. Not a sherry bomb but very well crafted. Too bad the "100 EUR a bottle"-days are over... ;-)
i expected an old, gentle sharrybombe christmas cake in my glas- - 21 jears, where are they? nose and in the palate, better to expect nothing - its simple a good Scotch , 82 Points

| Нос | 87 | Fresh orchard fruit, but not green. Red apples. Then comes some more dessert notes. Gingerbread spice. Juicy apples again. Delicate acidity. Cinnamon. Dark cake. Gingerbread. Then some dried fruit. Raisins underneath. Some milk chocolate. Sweet aromas. Vanilla and caramel. citrus. Tangerines. Oranges. Maybe some red fruit. Traces of cherry. |

| Финиш | 84 | Vanilla. Dark chocolate. Some oak. Light spiciness. Spices. Cinnamon. A pinch of white pepper. Dark chocolate dominates. Long finish. After the third sip, some fruit appeared, but still too barrely and too bitter. |
Compared to my old Glengoyne 21 years old from 2014 (WB163501) this is serious downgrade, especially on the nose. I won't buy a bottle of this new 21 years old for sure, even more so at this inflated price!

| Нос | 85 | Quite a closed nose. With some effort dusty malty notes with some coffee and milk chocolate can be distinguished. |
| Вкус | 88 | Rather full with milk chocolate, coffee and spices. The development is better than on the nose, with some fruits and nuts also appearing. |
| Финиш | 87 | Again chocolate and coffee, now accompanied by bitter oranges and a dry spiciness. |
Hm.. still good to very good malt. Seems to me the sherry is less prominent, probably casking is a bit different than a few years back. Has a wonderful 90 p. nose with lots to discover, but a hard time to to deliver the nose on the palate and finish. No off notes imho, but lacks intensity a bit. Recent price hike to 120+ EUR does not help, unfortunately.

What a disappointment to the old bottling. Sherry and depth of the old 21 are gone, light and unspectacular. Oh Glengoyne where are you going ...
A solid malt with a very typical, also really appealing sherry influence (the nose reminds me more of the heavy sweetness of the PX, on the palate a tart-nutty-herbaceous impression towards Palo Cortado predominates). In addition, some vanilla, fruit and gentle wood spice. Unfortunately, due to the dilution to the very low 43%, it seems a bit powerless to me as a connoisseur with a keg strength affinity and also does not have the depth that I would have actually hoped for at 21 years old. Too bad.

| Нос | 86 | Sherry-accentuated: concentrated dark PX sweetness, slightly sweet teryaki sauce and a whole load of roasted hazelnuts and macadamias. Fig jam and a few soft plums too. A little bit of an old lexicon. Delicate sweet and fruity notes, in the direction of vanilla and apricot macarons. I also have to think of sweet oranges. In addition, a pleasant, subtle fennel spice. Herbal honey. A nicely composed nose, the only thing I would like is a little more (alcohol) strength. |
| Вкус | 85 | He rears up a little at first, but then quickly looks a bit watered down. Unfortunately. Sour-tart, nutty Palo Cortado sounds like it. Dark chocolate. Red pepper. But also some clear coconut water. |
| Финиш | 86 | Vanilla. Again in the direction of dry Palo Cortado. Gentle wood flavor. Candied orange peel was now added to the dark chocolate. Some leather also flashes. Unfortunately he says goodbye very quickly, there are hints of licorice and cloves. Very dry. |

It was a mix of herbs, spiciness, sweetness and savory. He's not a sweet tooth, he's got an edge and blindly I would have given a tip in the direction of Scandinavia. I find the Glengoyne 21 interesting and varied. I think depending on your mood, both the sweet and the savory side can take over. Yes, I liked that, a roller coaster ride of flavors.

Got a sample from the ambassador Nathan at Whisky festival Utrecht this year. Was looking forward to this one, was at the distillery last year what makes it a little more special.

| Нос | 88 | Caramel hits first, followed by licorice and cinnamon. It has something like walking into an old barn, hay. Pinecones, allot of hints from fresh rain in a forest and other forest notes. This is something that I really like and enjoy on a rainy evening. A little later you sense orange peels and a hint of red fruits and berries. |
| Вкус | 86 | Again forest notes after a big rainshower. Licorice and caramel fudge, little white pepper and pinecones. Red fruits, little mocca and orange marmelade. Again very good and warm. Oak wood with spices after some time. |
| Финиш | 86 | Oak wood, spices and very smooth. Doesn't last long nut pleasant. |

Still a tasty malt, but unfortunately can't match the 21s in the previous design. It no longer has the mature, beautiful sherry notes of leather and dark fruits of its predecessor, appears more modern, lighter and less complex. Unfortunately at the price and in this new version (2020/2021) I no longer recommend it.

Aroma: red apples, caramel and vanilla. The elegant sherry note and spicy oak float above it. Taste: Full-bodied and round on the tongue. Enormous sherry and honey dominate the taste and merge into oak and a hint of cinnamon. Finish: Long and warming. Spicy oak and sherry show up again. Dry to the end. Color: dark copper. The Glengoyne 21 years spent the entire maturation period in selected first-fill sherry barrels. The result is a highly complex and intensely fruity single malt. Dark ripe fruits combine with aromatic oak notes. The dark amber color is not a result of coloring, but a natural result. The Glengoyne 21 years old is a real treat.

It's a lot of money for this 21-year-old. Not spectacular whisky!

| Нос | 85 | Raisins, apples, toffee, aromas of sherry and apple pie |
| Вкус | 86 | The sherry is there, but luckily it's not a sherry bomb. Also honey, cinnamon and oak in the background. |
| Финиш | 84 | The finish is medium long with aromas of sherry, raisins with spicy warm and slightly drying notes. |
Very poor indeed. Seems like an entirely category of spirits compared to its previous incarnation. There is actually no mention of first fill sherry casks on the packaging and I suspect the whisky is no longer aged in such casks. It is poor and a waste of money. Harsh, dry and thin, has a pleasant sweetness but it's almost as if the whole thing has been diluted. Tastes more like a grain whisky actually.

Great deep sherry nose. Flattens out a bit in taste. A few volume percentages more would have suited him well.

A fairly spicy and clove-like malt with a robust, non-Macallan sherry quality. The 21 year old release could have been much more serious than an oak-infused dried fruit liqueur. 1st Fill European Oak Sherry gave too much oak. Or maybe the barrels weren't soaked?) This is not a sherry bomb, this is an oak bomb. 22.5 22 21 21
I bought Benriach 21 and Glengoyne 21 at the same time, for about the same price. Benriach 21 is completely brown sugar. Glengoyne 21 is about 50% brown sugar, with some smoky oak (no peat). It's a good mix, but something about the balance is a bit more boring to me than I expected. Good but not great.

Another distillery is taking the wrong path. This whisky is unspectacular. Unfortunately no comparison to the old version at all. That will be punished accordingly.
