Суммаризация отзывов
Отзывы описывают ярко выраженный шерри-профиль с доминирующим олоросо, красными фруктами и специями, но неоднократно отмечают молодость, резкость и алкогольную горячность. Оценки в основном в диапазоне 82–88, и многие считают, что интенсивность выше среднего, хотя вкус может показаться сладковатым и простым.
развернуть подробно
Большинство отзывов сходятся в том, что это насыщенный, шерри-доминирующий виски. В ароматике упоминаются красные фрукты, изюм, сухофрукты, шоколад, кожа и ноты, связанные с выдержкой в олоросо, иногда с оттенком дыма от обожжённой бочки. Один отзыв прямо характеризует его как «не ваш средний шерри-драм» — немного резкий, но с необычными нотами; другой описывает мощный, алкогольно-выраженный профиль с красными фруктами, специями и перцем, а также средним по длине финишем с согревающим эффектом. Отмечается и молодая, «горячая» природа напитка.
Вкус и финиш оцениваются по-разному. Часть отзывов выделяет рождественские мотивы: имбирный пряник, апельсиновую корку, ель, а также сухофрукты, чернослив, инжир, специи и длинный мощный финиш с угольными нотами, тоффи и лакрицей. Вместе с тем есть замечания, что вкус слишком лёгкий, сладковатый и простой, а финиш короткий и приторно-сладкий. Некоторые называют этот релиз «американскими горками» и «чудаковатым», с высокой развлекательной ценностью, но не самым высоким результатом. В сравнении с другими версиями Glen Spey утверждается, что доминирующий олоросо полностью перекрывает характер дистиллята, который сам по себе молод и пуст, — и что это спасает ситуацию, хотя по гармоничности уступает более выдержанному варианту. В целом отзывы описывают интенсивный, шерри-впечатляющий и неоднородный по восприятию виски.

This is not your average sherried dram. It's a bit sharp, but also quirky with some unusual flavours. And unusual keeps whisky intersting!
нос · вкус · финиш
| Нос | 84 | Starts a bit floral and grassy with leek, rosehips, walnuts and sunflower oil. Then the sherry kicks in with milk chocolate, a bit of coffee and spices. It also has a chemical edge with nail polish and some detergent. This is an unpolished nose, with the sherry and youngish spirit trying to find a balance. At the same time the flavour profile is a bit unusual in a good way, it keeps discovering new drams fun! |
| Вкус | 85 | Opens up boisterous with red pepper, mustard, cumin and a hint of burnt rubber. Settles slowly on redcurrants, caramalised nuts and a bit of tobacco and chocolate. It's quite hot and young, yet again different and thus interesting. |
| Финиш | 85 | A warm spiciness (cloves!) mingles with chocolate, bramble jam, oranges and a slight nuttines with a tiny hint of sulphurous smoke. It's fades away rather quickly. |
Glen Spey 2015, 100 Proof Ed #37, 57.1%, 1st fill oloroso (vs F&F 43% 10yo vs Cask Strength Coll 2007, 17yo 1st fill oloroso, 57.3%). Glen Spey is the most tragic filling of the F&F series, young pure unripened bourbon is ABSOLUTELY empty and that is the character of the distillery? Symington in the 100 Proof version not only uses a higher percentage of alcohol, but also used his favorite recipe for a totally dominant, sticky oloroso, which completely covered the original characterless distillate (its emptiness only peeks out slightly when finished), which is also criminally young. The problematic situation is saved. If someone is bothered by this typical sherry handwriting, then in this case they could praise it :) The Cask Strength Coll version comes in a better bottle for twice the price and has almost the same alcohol strength. Is it worth it? Absolutely, because thanks to the many added years of maturation, the oloroso no longer dominates completely, but is in harmony with the oak barrel and after 17 years the character of the distillate ceases to be boring. A clear winner of the test and can only be recommended.
Powerful, quite alcohol-driven dram. A lot of red fruits, pleasant for sure.

| Нос | 85 | Quite some alcohol noticeable, pretty dominant. A lot of red fruits as well. |
| Вкус | 86 | Pretty powerful, spicy, pepper. Red fruits, berries, currants. |
| Финиш | 85 | Still quite powerful, spicy pepper, red fruits, berries, cherries. Medium long finish. A bit warming in the belly at the end. |

I drank this whisky for the second time and it has a nice jammy sweet character. Since the bottle is fresh, it doesn't feel as sherry-like as when it has been aged for a while.

A rollercoaster of a Glen Spey and certainly one of the more weird expressions in the 100 proof series. I like the goofiness very much. It does not result in the highest score, but entertainment value is high. Full review on www.longpouramour.com
Woody sherry, varnished wood and dried fruits, dates and apricots, brown sugar, cinnamon. A tiny touch of smoke from the charred cask. It's quite round, with a nice caramelized sweetness. Nougatine. On the palate, it's less interesting, a little light, molasses, prunes, dried figs, a hint of bitterness, then spices, cloves, pepper, cumin. Pears and quince. Long and rather powerful finish, charcoal balls, wood shavings, toffee, licorice stick, raisins. I really liked the nose, which is quite nuanced, and the finish was very good, but the palate is not that good, it's too light, which is a shame. https://ilikesky2020.blogspot.com/2025/04/glen-spey-2015-100-proof-edition-37-9-yo.html

Not sure if this is the first Glen Spey to review, not a bad score so far.
нос · вкус · финиш
| Нос | 83 | Dark notes come up first. Raisins, red fruits, chesterfield couch, dark choclate. Leather is pretty dominant after a while. Notes from walking into a warehouse. |
| Вкус | 85 | Pretty christmas like. Gingerbread, orange peels and pinetree. Red fruits after a while. Gives a warm feeling like a night in december with the notes from Christmas. |
| Финиш | 85 | Strong at first but fades away fast. Still smooth and warm. |
Another whisky from the 100 proof series. In my opinion the best line of 2024/2025 in terms of price quality. The only reason I give this whisky 85 points is because of the intensity. The 57% makes this whisky more fun to drink but for me it is too sweet and simple.

| Нос | 85 | Cane sugar, a fruit bowl with a great diversity, |
| Вкус | 86 | Citrus, stone fruits, vanilla, some red fruits, dried fruits, icing sugar, |
| Финиш | 84 | The finish is quite short and cloyingly sweet, almost tending towards single grain sweetness. |
aroma: subtle to indistinct, dark berries, red wine taste: smooth, rounded, vanilla, chocolate, dark fruit A balanced glass, definitely a daily dram. A little better than average

Glen Spey, an inconspicuous distillery from the Diageo empire in Rothes, which, according to the Malt Whisky Yearbook, hasn't produced whisky at all for a few years, but rather produces gin. Signatory has now bottled a 9-year-old Glen Spey from first-fill Oloroso butts in a 100 proof edition. The color is dark golden. It looks and sounds like a beautiful sherry-forward Speyside whisky. glen-efze.de
