Glengoyne 12-year-old описывают как лёгкий, сбалансированный и лёгкий для питья виски с фруктовыми, солодовыми, ванильными и карамельными нотами. Мнения о крепости 43% расходятся: одни считают её достаточной, другие хотели бы видеть 46%.
развернуть подробно
В отзывах Glengoyne 12-year-old чаще всего предстаёт как лёгкий, округлый и хорошо сбалансированный виски, который легко пить. В аромате и вкусе отмечают солодовость, ваниль, карамель, мёд, фрукты (яблоко, цитрусовые, сухофрукты), а также специи и влияние как американского, так и европейского дуба. Несколько отзывов называют его хорошим вариантом на каждый день и отмечают хорошее соотношение цены и качества, хотя часть рецензентов считает его простым или недостаточно глубоким.
Отдельная линия разногласий — крепость 43% ABV: одни пишут, что она работает нормально и виски не кажется водянистым, другие жалеют, что это не 46%, и связывают с этим нехватку интенсивности. Также встречаются противоположные мнения о шерри: у кого-то он воспринимается как богатый и приятный, у кого-то — как слишком сухой, таннинный или портящий впечатление. Финиш описывают по-разному — от короткого и слабого до довольно длинного и приятного.

It is pleasant enough but I think it suffers a bit from the low ABV. As said before, I would love to see this at 46 %. The side that I think Glengoyne does the best in these young ones and that is for me their makers mark is the grainy-wholemeal-cereal-side also obvious here. They do it better than any of their contemporaries i'm aware of. For me this balances the outcome and adds a couple of points to the relative thinness of the spirit.
Nose has disappointed me. There was just not enough. Everything that happens in the mouth is really exciting for a 12-year-old.
This is quite light, with a little spice and some decent apple notes and hints of vanilla, Fine for a daily sipper

A good balance between cask influence and distillery character. Some may complain it's not 46% abv, but for me the 43% abv works just fine. It doesn't feel watery in any way. Great mixture of American and European oak casks. You get the sweet, caramel, vanilla aspect of the American oak but then the spicy European oak follows. A good dram!
Young, sparkling, flawless drop, coming from a really beautiful distillery, as I noticed at the beginning of this year's Scottish holiday.
Great nose. Unfortunately one waits in the taste in vain for what the nose promises. The departure is very short - 28.04.2014
Serge says Colour: pale gold. Nose: malty and fresh at first nosing, with a little fudge and caramel as well as ‘a Mars bar’. Doesn’t change much after that but it’s all pleasant and kind of undemanding. Yet after fifteen minutes, more fresh oak starts to come through (vanilla and coconut) together with some orange, possibly from sherry here. Mouth: extremely malty and caramelly, all on tarte tatin, various cakes, toffee, butterscotch… In a way, it’s rather old-style. Good body. Finish: quite long, with more pepper on toasted brioche and always a very noticeable maltiness. Some liquorice and a lot of caramel in the aftertaste. Comments: I don’t think it’s very different from the older 12. That’s good news, I always enjoyed the 12. Ultra-classic. SGP:441 - 84 points.
Pleasant and easy to drink fruity, spicy Glengoyne.
A smooth easygoing drum.Sweet and not so complex an afternoon ones.

Classic from Glengoyne. Fruity funk takes center stage. It lacks a bit of depth and intensity. What a shame it’s only 43% ABV.

Like the 10's it is very malty, straightforward and round. The 2 years more maturity is best felt in the apple note (10er green, here yellow) and the slightly less (yet strong) malt sweetness. Despite the maturation in only sherry barrels, the sherry touch holds back. Nice all-day dram of no one overwhelmed.

very lovley stuff. sweet and good influence from the casks. it is a good start to get into Glengoyne, a light Whisky but still enough complexity here. Looking forward to tasting more of Glengoyne.

https://whiskylovingpianist.wordpress.com/2019/04/03/whiskylive-2019-day-1-part-2/ C: With very light-modern sherry action, we’re starting to enter whisky adulthood at 12 years, though funnily enough I miss the 10yo’s youthful song.

Structured and more vanilla nose, towards white plum, coconut. It's round, greedy, on the sponge cake, the waffle with whipped cream. The entry in the mouth is smooth, on the lemon. Then the spices settle in, pepper, mustard, ginger. It's warm. The finish is very balanced, not very aggressive, but quite long, on muscat grapes, sprinkled with milk chocolate. It's evanescent at the end, on green apple, and some floral reflections. For a few euros more, it seems to me that it is better to buy this expression, more solid and more tasty. https://ilikesky2020.blogspot.com/2021/09/glengoyne-10-yo.html

A surprisingly rich experience - full nose, very complex taste and the unexpectedly long, pleasant finish.

| Нос | 82 | Promising sweetness. No significant alcohol notes. A little bit parfumy, but not unpleasantly exposed. Vanilla, ripe red fruits. Maybe a little bit too simple, but... |
| Вкус | 85 | ...here comes the taste - sweet again, but with lots of different notes. Vanilla strikes again, splitted by slight almond bitterness and sour notes - sherry? Butterscotch biscuits. EXTREMELY oily palate, soooo good! Some floral notes return to the nose. Great experience! |
| Финиш | 85 | Amazingly long in this price range! For me it is sweet vanilla again, at the beginning. Coconut and sherry. Then it slowly fades away, leaving delicate and pleasant oak bitterness which makes one to sip the dram again and again... |
Still an aperitif style whisky, the 12yo shows more depth and complexity compared with the 10yo. It is a very decent dram with a lovely nose and a delicate taste. Exceptional value for the money, very drinkable. I thank Ian Macleod Distillers Ltd for the sample. https://www.facebook.com/Whisky-Connaisseur-550443305109776
On this occasion, I had more time than for my previous tasting (note). At first, the caramel influence might be quite big (and that's not my favourite), but over time it calms down. A welcomed dram!

Sherry just ruins it.
нос 85 · вкус 84 · финиш 84
The aroma smells good, and you can feel the elements of sherry are very rich, A sweet sherry cask whisky full of sweet dark fruit, honey, vanilla, The most special is the Finish after swallowing, with a very comfortable sweet and fruity fragrance lingering in the throat. The overall feel is very similar to the Glen dronach 12yo, but with some less burnt oak bitterness in the mouth and slightly less complexity to taste, but the Finish performance is definitely a win for the Glengoyne 12yo. It's a sherry cask type of whisky that I would love. The taste is rated 85 points, and the price does not affect the score.
Delicate nose, but sweet and intense palate with long and warming finish FINISH: lemon peel, oak NOSE: lemon peel, dried fruits, vanilla, oak PALATE: lemon peel, red apple REVIEWED ON 5.10.2020
Tasted as part of The Whisky Shop Advent Calendar 2024. Very decent! Better than the last time trying this malt, definitely a candidate for purchasing a full bottle. There is a sense of more complexity to be unraveled.

The 12 year old Glengoyne here tastes good, but it doesn't beat the 10 year old, which I find outstanding Color - light brandy

Quite fruity, creamy style. Good value for money.
Raisins, chocolate, apple peel, pear, banana, vanilla, licorice, honey, bit oak and lemon.
A mix of bourbon and sherry A little bit of caramel spicy and a bit sweet, but it's flat. Is it somewhat similar to Balvenie? Finish is very weak

Beautiful, crunchy standard for ~ 35 €, no extraordinary flavors, but has over the 12 years, enough intensity, not too young, not too mild, not too diluted.
it needs some time to breathe and you will get a very good whisky (may 2017)

Honey, caramel, toffee, chocolate, spices, cherry liqueur, with sour red fruits somewhere in the background. The flavor is similar, with a touch of wood, tartness, and bitter citrus. The finish is short, warming, and searing.

| Нос | 82 | Fresh, sweet, and lightly fruity – like a plate of apple, pear, and a touch of lemon zest, overlaid with vanilla and light oak. The sherry adds a hint of raisin and a subtle nuttiness, but everything remains bright and cheerful. |
| Вкус | 82 | Round, sweet, fruity, and clear – like a thread of honey trickling over apple, light grape, and a touch of raisin. Add to that vanilla, a hint of malt, and a gentle, dry oak spice. The sherry component is present, but more as a subtle accent. |
| Финиш | 81 | Short to medium-long, fruity-woody and slightly dry. Apple peel, vanilla, a hint of raisin and a subtle spice note linger – like the last notes of a mild autumn afternoon. |
Proper old style whisky. I found this whisky benefited from sitting a while in a glass with a lid. Smell the bottom of the lid to get the best of the lighter volatiles – especially the oak spices. I managed to pay the equivalent of e30 or £23 in a local supermarket Christmas offer. So exceptional value for the money too!

You have to give him some time in the glass, then he is quite complex and well balanced for his 12 years. Beautiful every day dram!

The alcohol is neither noticeable in the nose nor in the mouth, the aromas dominate. A really enjoyable dram to enjoy anytime. Well balanced!

| Нос | 84 | I have the sherry in my nose straight away. Together with the sherry notes, a sugary, caramel-like fragrance flatters the nose. Behind it is the fruit basket that you are used to from a bourbon barrel - ripe, light fruity pome fruit variations such as apples and pears, but the sweet fruity variant. And a certain citrus note can also be noticed, but more the zest than the squeezed juice. Nice odor composition. You don't notice anything about the alcohol, which is given here as 43% - no burning at all, the alcohol is very nicely integrated. |
| Вкус | 84 | Very nice mouthfeel. Oily, waxy, the malt lies on the tongue and fills the entire mouth with a delicious taste. Salivation starts immediately. A fruity, sweet start right at the beginning of the first sip. The sherry notes are instantly present. After the second try, the malt becomes clearer and a nice sweet cake note. |
| Финиш | 83 | A subtle, not intrusive spice nuance to feel at the end on the palate. The fruit component slowly fades and turns into a soft oak. The finish does not last very long, the oak and the dark chocolate associated with it have a little longer in the mouth. |
Warm, round and smooth taste, with lots of vanilla and dried fruits. Very easy drinking but balanced and rewarding, especially for an everyday winter dram, with hints of spring flowers and fruits and a pleasant slightly oily palate. Worth the price for sure.

Entry level malt, but if it really sells for almost 50 Euro\`s, too expensive, in my opinion.
