Молодой (8 лет) Glen Keith с доводкой в олоросо-хересе: пряный, красные фрукты, землисто-дымная грязинка. Опытные хвалят гладкость и приятность, скептики — за незрелость и колючесть.
развернуть подробно
В аромате плотный пряный букет — корица, травы, спелые красные яблоки и ягоды, цитрус и грейпфрут, к ним кожа, молочный шоколад, карамель, ваниль и отчётливо маслянисто-землистый, слегка «грязный» край вплоть до древесного дыма; хересные ноты олоросо поначалу сдержанны, добавляя ореховость и запах винного погреба. Вкус гладкий, но живой и перечный для своей крепости, с лакрицей, пепельным дымом, красными фруктами, ноткой серы и красного перца чили; тело от лёгкого до умеренно маслянистого, у некоторых бархатисто-сиропное. Послевкусие держится удивительно долго — сухое, с кожей, табаком, старым хересом и влажной древесиной.
Опытные сходятся на том, что хересная доводка перекрывает характер самой винокурни, но напиток всё равно выходит приятным и мягким; их оценки кучные (83–86). Среди остальных разброс шире: часть отмечает хороший баланс между травянисто-землистым молодым солодом и фруктовостью бочки, велюровую текстуру и совет дать напитку час в бокале с водой, тогда как критичный голос (81–82) считает его колючим, местами мыльным и «недопечённым», выпущенным до срока. В целом оценки согласованы в диапазоне 81–87 при общем признании молодости и пряной резкости как главного ограничения.

Interesting what you can bottle with only 8 years. The finish charged the whisky in an interesting way. Despite the youthful spiciness, which stands in contrast to the aroma - it can definitely please.
нос · вкус · финиш
| Нос | 87 | Very spicy, a full bouquet, herbs, caramel, citrus notes, grapefruit, some vanilla, the sherry notes are still a bit reserved. The alcohol is well integrated. |
| Вкус | 87 | He is very lively young and peppery on the palate. Has strength and endurance. The Oloroso sherry notes with their nuttiness and some cellar mustiness come across clearly here. |
| Финиш | 86 | The finish lasts surprisingly long. Very dry, leather tobacco, old sherry and slightly dusty wine cellar, wet wood. |
young & smooth

Yeah. So here’s a top tip: even though it’s a young malt and not cask strength, give it an hour (!) in the glass and add water generously to open it up. It transforms the malt into something really enjoyable

Spicy, red fruits, some dirty and smoky whiffs. All kinds of characteristics that I wouldn't associate with Glen Keith actually. Typically a case of a very dominant sherrycask finish Despite the fact that the Glen Keith character is overpowered, it still is a very pleasant dram for sure.

Glen Keith 2013 oloroso Carn Mor SSMSW 47.5%. 30ml sample consumed Jan 2023. Bright orange. Youthful on aroma. Harsh, spiky and not that cohesive. Some musty oak. Hint of dried fruit, mince pie. Slightly soapy. Not a great aroma. Body is lightly to moderately oily. Taste is again spiky for its abv. Peppery in the middle moving to red chilli. Some redcurrant with its semi sweetness and bitterness. Decent enough stuff but tastes half baked. I feel like they’ve only done half a job on this and rushed it out before its time - but it’s not bad as such. Was probably 3 years away from being pretty solid. 3.45/82
I was apprehensive of this malt— young, finished in sherry, and my friend who hosted the tasting relayed at the outset that he thought this was the biggest disappointment of the bottles he had selected. It also turns out he does not like five spice, mala, or Sichuan peppercorn in any dish; honestly, you never know a person. So no wonder I thought this young Glen Keith was delightful and well-balanced between the herbal-earthy young malt and the fruity influence of the cask. The flavors were well-integrated and transitioned nicely between distinct layers, each lending itself to an ice cream Sunday buffet on the nose or autumn on the palate, though it would have been nice to see those connected a bit more. Despite the diluted abv, the mouthfeel was velvety and syrupy, the spirit had a lovely weight that spread evenly across the palate, and the finish was pleasant and varied. Glen Keith was a new distillery for me in 2022, and I experienced some ups and downs with different bottles. With drams like this, my eye will remain locked on Glen Keith for 2023.
