Тропический бурбонный профиль — яркие спелые и экзотические фрукты с ванилью и корицей; опытные ставят высоко и хвалят чистоту и живость спирта, но многие отмечают разрыв между блестящим ароматом и суховато-горьковатым, пряно-дубовым вкусом.
развернуть подробно
В аромате доминирует насыщенная фруктовая корзина — папайя, манго, маракуйя, ананас, груша, абрикос, дыня канталупа и цитрусы, к которым добавляются ванильный крем, мёд, сдоба, корица и лёгкая дубовая пряность; многие называют нос лучшей частью и «фруктовой бомбой». Вкус маслянистый и сливочный, но заметно более пряный и сухой: те же тропические фрукты сменяются перцем, гвоздикой, мускатным орехом и горьковатой зеленью дуба, а без воды проступает избыточная сухость и кислотность. Послевкусие долгое, начинается фруктами, мёдом и ванилью, но переходит в горьковатую древесную пряность.
Опытные ревьюеры оценивают образец ровно высоко (86–90) и ценят свежесть, ясность и энергию спирта, сравнивая его с более выдержанными сериями Glentauchers и отмечая зрелую, но живую зерновую манеру; один даже смешал бы его с 21-летним для баланса. Основное расхождение идёт не по опыту, а по восприятию баланса: часть дегустаторов фиксирует разрыв между великолепным носом и не дотягивающим до него горьковато-дубовым вкусом, отдельные голоса указывают на переизбыток дуба и резиновые тона. Оценки в целом согласованы и плотно держатся около 89–90, при этом есть выбивающиеся крайности — 80 у критикующего пересушенность и 96–98 у тех, кто воспринял бочку иначе (вплоть до хересного прочтения).

https://whiskylovingpianist.wordpress.com/2025/02/21/glentauchers-four-decade-five-dram-split/ N: Initially a dunnage-y affair, after just 20 minutes, it turned to vanilla ice cream, wafer, cinnamon biscotti, and barley sugar. In comparison to the Archives, whilst richer with more clarity, it behaves more like a mature-if-lively grain. T: This has not lost any of its verve. Opening up with immediacy, just a splash of water brings out the richness of the spirit’s underlying oils and fats,… F: ,… as well as the oak which is greener than the Archives. Returning to dunnage-d ice cream, the energy of spirit keeps knocking. C: A plain speaker, after the initial wowing richness, I find myself returning to the 21yo. If I found myself with a bottle of both, I’d be doing some blending.

A bit of an unbalanced whisky. The nose is absolutely amazing, but it turns into quite a bitter experience in the end.
| Нос |
91 |
A beautiful fruitbomb style nose with (dried) tropical and orchard fruits. Papaya, mango, passion fruit, slight pineapple, dried apple, pear and apricot, sultana raisins and sweet lemon peel. Also Turkish delight, green tea with honey, vanilla custard and some gentle dusty wood spice. |
| Вкус |
89 |
Creamy and oily in the mouth, clearly more spicy than the nose. Still tropical fruits like papaya and passion fruit, pear, dried apple and apricot, bitter citrus, warming honey notes and vanilla, developing into peppery spice notes with bitter clove and dusty nutmeg. |

Long: first the tropical fruits and dried apricot like notes, also vanilla, honey and grapefruit. Then the bitter wood spice takes over with pepper, clove and green wood sap. The finish clearly can't keep up with the complexity and balance of the nose. |

A great bourbon cask aging! If only the fruit were always as present as in the nose... A bit unbalanced when drinking; almost too dry without water, with water the acidity comes out a bit too much for my taste. For the full review, go here: https://keinehalbendrinks.de/2022/09/12/90er-speyside/

Glentauchers 1997 is full of bright fruit and comfortable cinnamon. Smell is my favorite style. The taste is soft, sweet, and then slightly sour. At the same time, the malt smell is also very comfortable. I like it very much!

Very nice on the nose, lots of sweet influences, but don't stick your nose too deep in the glass. Then you will still get some scents of over-oaked maturation and rubber shoe mats. The over-oaked part unfortunately also comes back in the taste. The aftertaste quickly becomes dry and you are left with a strange spicy woody salty aftertaste.

嗅香 Sherry! But it's not a bomb, it's a delicate helping of sherry. It's cinnamon, it's pepper and subtle hints of wood. With time here comes the sticky raisins and sultanas. 味道 Sticky Christmas pudding with a perfect balance of marzipan on top. Tongue is tingling with a helping of a apple pie (with cinnamon). With time blood oranges and notes of chocolate start to come through. 尾韵 Long, lingering and tingling finish. Cinnamon and delicate oaky notes linger and make you want another glass.
