Суммаризация отзывов

Отзывы в целом описывают Glen Grant 18 как мягкий, фруктово-медовый виски с яблоком, грушей, цитрусом, ванилью и дубовой пряностью, но мнения о глубине, финише и цене расходятся.

развернуть подробно

В большинстве отзывов нос описывается как фруктовый и медовый — яблоко, груша, цитрус, ваниль, тоффи/карамель, иногда цветочные и травянистые ноты, а также специи и дуб. Вкус чаще называют мягким, сладким и лёгким для питья, с фруктами, мёдом, ванилью и специями; неоднократно отмечают маслянистую текстуру при 43%. Финиш нередко средний или короткий, иногда с дубовой горечью, сухой или древесно-цитрусовый; часть отзывов хвалит длинный фруктово-солодовый финиш, сливочную текстуру, шоколад и орехи в послевкусии. При этом звучат отрицательные и противоречивые мнения: излишняя резкость и горечь-кислота из-за дуба, необходимость воды, «слишком разбавленный» и водянистый характер, спиртовая резкость при 43%, дисбаланс с растворительными и приторными нотами, сомнения, что 18 лет ощущаются в полной мере, недостаточная глубина и объём, жалобы на завышенную цену (вплоть до около 110 €) и на то, что напиток уступает другим 18-летним Speyside. Один отзыв прямо называет профиль «на любителя», а ещё один — резко отрицательный, с ассоциациями с Tennessee Bourbon и сожалением о покупке сэмпла. Лёгкость и гладкость одновременно являются и достоинством, и недостатком для тех, кто ищет интенсивность и сложность.

Smell: very fragrant, good smell, but indescribable... It's like the Chinese five-spice marinade bag with vanilla, rosemary and coconut milk. Drinking: smooth, very smooth, almost no alcohol sense, no pressure to drink, it will be too late when you wait for it. A little sweet and sour, like a drop of apple juice. The main body is a bit difficult to distinguish, celery, chrysanthemum, dried meat, and citrus peel oil. Aftertaste: A little bitter but not astringent. The bitterness of fresh citrus peel. A wine that is not too complicated, but very indescribable. But this wine is very good, very friendly, stress-free and receptive.

Glen Grant Rare Edition 18 yo 43%. Bought on the back of Jim Murray's hype rating. So let's see. Quite pale. Big bourbon aroma. The vanilla is huge. The caramel bourbon notes are BIG. It's nice actually. Banana and biscuit. Taste is clean and spiritous, soft notes of biscuit and banana again, oak. Yes it's a nice whisky there's no doubt about that at all. It has all that American oak but in such a clean refined way. Decent stuff but, in the end, I enjoyed it about the same as their much cheaper 10yo. 3.6/86

Spoerkel Connoisseur 89 21 dec 2021 9:35 pm

Undoubtedly a good drop, thanks to the great combination of strength, fruit and mildness. But I can't understand Murray's extreme euphoria.

Harmony of ripe apples and honey. Sticky sweetness. A strong, bright scent like perfume. The only drawback is that there is no particularly interesting taste other than this typical Speyside taste. There is no problem enjoying the bright happiness itself, but I think there is a limit for those who are looking for a more sharp taste, a unique taste, and a fun taste.

Нос	90	A honey pot that feels explosive, honey and floral, sweet and bright, fresh green apple and pear, a damp woody smell with a sense of ripeness, a harmony of fragrances like perfume, clean and refreshing without bad scents.
Вкус	88	Consistent taste that is almost identical to the aroma. Very rich and sweet honey and apple. Like peeling a ripe apple and taking a big bite of the flesh. A stronger woody impression compared to the nose.
Финиш	86	The feeling of chewing apple skin continues. Pleasant floral and honey that brings happiness. Medium depth finish without being dull. Woody bitterness that lingers after sweetness.

Totoro Connoisseur 86 28 oct 2020 8:18 pm

Fairly competent, but at 18 years of age, it's just too sharp and bitter/sour overall. In my impression, this sharpness is mainly down to some pretty punchy oak, which needs to be tamed with water to coax out its full potential. But be careful: it runs the risk of going soft very quickly, as the 43% don't offer much in the way of "dilution reserves". There are other GG OBs out there with a better price-to-performance ratio (I'm looking at you, WID 122416)...

нос · вкус · финиш

Нос	87	Very astringent and acerbic without water. Mineralic, tart, steely, citrus-sour, with a spicy kick from the oak. Unripe pineapple, grapefruit... Still good, but a bit harsh and unyielding. Water is much needed here, revealing vegetal notes (rocket salad), beautiful florals (peonies, lilies, rosewater), and a lush creaminess that was altogether missing before: vanilla custard, sunflower oil, almond paste. I'd say 86 points without water and 88 with water, so let's settle on the middle.
Вкус	86	Undiluted, it's pretty peppery and sour. Little sweetness, and the fruits are limited to the citrus varieties. However, with a few drops, it opens up nicely and yields an array of high-class bourbon-cask flavors and a lovely pronounced spiciness at the death.
Финиш	85	Short to medium at best, with a good balance of spirit and crisp American oak.

Вкус	88	Honey-sweet and soft on the tongue, vanilla and delicate fruit flavors, even a little exotic lychee and quince jelly. In the middle part there is a little bit of heat and caramelized Brazil nuts. Fine oak notes towards the end.
Финиш	88	The finish is average long with an almost ethereal freshness, sweet, slightly nutty, vanilla and delicately spicy oak.

The nose is very nice, the rest isn't bad, but it can't keep up. Full pear with citrus notes, floral and hints of hazelnut (I often get that with Glen Grant). With a few percent more it would probably have been quite a hit. This is a good whisky. 87/100 or 6/10

Soysauce_Sommelier Expert Junior 86 21 feb 2025 3:14 am

Glen Grant 18 is often praised for its smoothness, but that same smoothness can be its downfall for those looking for a more intense or complex experience. It’s exceptionally easy to drink, but for some whisky lovers, it may come across as too light and lacking the depth found in similarly aged Speyside whiskies.

Clearly noticeable long bourbon influences, well matured, but far from outstanding Speysider. Fruity-light-elegant and quite tasty. Significantly "weaker" than Glenfarclas, Glenfiddich or Glenlivet 18yo - hopelessly overpriced - my price (set by Jim Murray / Bible 2019 for the first and hopefully last time on the wrong track - beginner's tariff) was € 131.57 in January 2019

Whatever it was. I'll buy a bottle at the next bargain. I had received a random sample of it (thanks André) and was completely surprised at first. This malt has a unique selling point. You love him or you hate him. I can't get it out of my head. As expensive as the Talisker, it is easy for me at the PLV border. Difficult number. The 10cl were definitely not enough for me. I want more. Addendum 09/2020: In the meantime house whisky.

Нос	—	A nose that amazes. How often do I have to sniff before I can describe it. I'll start with delicious, fine, light, spring is coming. Lemongrass with malt and grain!?. Light oranges and a little apples hidden behind the 18 years. I even suddenly stand on the flower meadow. Wow. Respect.
Вкус	—	The texture is great. Oily and charming, it feels soft but still powerful over the mouth. He presses on it powerfully without a break. For 43% ... respect. This is a malt to enjoy. The finish is buttery with biscuit notes and slightly nutty. I don't have to play with water and have the pure whisky experience. I like it a lot. unicorn
Финиш	—	Unfortunately, the finish doesn't quite hold what I had hoped for. Therefore it sticks to me under the 88. But that is complaining at a high level! I can refill. And that's exactly what I need a whole bottle for! Thank you Glen Grant. Great.

Нос	—	Vanilla light fruity almost flowery, green apple. Slightly musty but pleasant and distinct American oak. Complex and balanced.
Вкус	—	The fruit continues and remains delicate. The apple is still there. The wood slowly overtakes, first with roasted aromas and immediately afterwards with clear chocolate on the palate. In terms of taste, the dram is a little more set. Still round.
Финиш	—	Medium to long. The fruit is slowly thinning. Dry oak wears a little longer.

nose: full of scents! the oak on soaked shavings, the more maderized fruit on black grapes, dates, honey, fresh fruits that have been cooked and re-cooked on the fireside mouth: it is also monolithic but taking, the spices more pastry and set back, there is fresh fruit from the orchard and others more exotic and sweet flavored; just delicate white pepper final: (paradoxically) quite long on the honeyed, woody, almost smoky toasted side with the spices that come back at this time, the reduction does not ultimately break everything!

Glen Grant, one of the big whisky brands, which is a little behind Glenfiddich or Glenlivet in our country and is more strong in southern Europe, especially in Italy. Of course, it's also the Campari Group's only Scotch distillery. The 18 year old is uncolored and shows a beautiful, natural light golden tone that suggests bourbon aging. So this could be a nice classic. Why does something like this have to cost over €100 today? glen-efze.de

нос · вкус · финиш

Нос	—	On the nose there are fresh citrus aromas, perhaps a bit of mandarin, as well as tart aromas of grapefruit peel with ripe apples and pears. The fruitiness is ripe and has no disturbing young or metallic tones. Wood is reserved; refill barrels were certainly primarily used.
Вкус	—	The taste is also dominated by the bright fruits, plus a splash of pink grapefruit and a hint of grated mandarin peel. The whisky is despite only 43% vol. strong, the alcohol settles in the cheek pockets with the bitter, bitter barrel aromas.
Финиш	—	In the aftertaste there is wood and some nut shell, the whisky sounds bitter and bitter with sparkling alcohol, which can also be interpreted as pepper. There is also some bitter chocolate with marzipan on the palate. But it's not very long. This is a whisky that definitely has rough edges, more of a dry white wine with a delicate bitterness from the skin and seeds than an easily sipped afternoon wine. But it goes well with the sunset in the south with a breeze of fragrant herbs. Somehow a Tuscany whisky that plays off and combines the flavors of a refill bourbon cask well. It's not sensational, it's nice and calm without being superficial. Exactly what you would expect from a classic.

hs305 Connoisseur 89 14 oct 2017 8:27 pm

[October 2017] Again good old Jim surprised the whole of the whisky community with his "Whiskies of the Year 2017". The winner is not relevant to me (as so often) because I do neither like bourbon nor rye whiskys at all (I am just a malt head that is not into heavy wooden notes). So I am interested in the second (Irish) and third place (Scotch) and to make it more interesting I do this in a head-to-head setting. It is this Glen Grant versus the 21-years old Redbreast (WB id 78096). Both drams are quite nice and flawless, of course. But again the Bourbon-lover Jim selected his preferred profile not just as the winning whisky but for the second place, too (what else should he do?). The Redbreast is a very bourbon-style Irish while the Glen Grant is a typical delicate and subtle Scotch. Both will not rock the whisky world (as most of Jim's favourite drams) but are examples of carefully crafted drams. But that is what Jim preferres...

нос · вкус · финиш

Нос	89	The Grant is of a pale gold and the Redbreast of an amber colour. The texture of the Redbreast shows medium fast legs and small late sticky tears while the Grant shows a fatter oiliness with late slow legs and fat sticky tears. The Redbreast's nose offers a typical Irish fruity profile within a strong wooden setting and some hints of sherry aromas. I like that but it is not earth-moving. The Grant's nose is less fruitier but on a very nice green apples and peaches profile (almost like a cider). It is nicely balanced with the wooden and barley aromas, very subtle and delicate. Both are very good but I like the Grant a little more than the Irish.
Вкус	88	The Redbreast offers a somewhat bourbon-ish taste profile, too. Heavy wooden notes combine with sweet sherry flavours and a lot of fruity aromas. Actually, I like that combo because it is balanced and powerful. The Grant is much more delicate here on barley sugars, spices, herbs and fruits in a quite complex profile. Nicely balanced too but less powerful than the Irish. Instead it is multi-layered and offers more impressions the longer you chew it. Both are really good but very different and I go for a draw on this dimension. Some water turns the Redbreast even more bourbon-ish (stronger wooden flavours both in the nose and on the palate) and because I am not a Bourbon fan I like the balanced neat dram more. The Grant releases more aromas and flavours with water added and gets smoother (but less powerful, too). I like to nose the Grant reduced and drink it neat.
Финиш	89	The Grant arrives coating and a little peppery on the palate with no distracting moments. The mouthfeel of the Redbreast is less coating and more hot with some minor astringent feelings due to heavy tannins. It is more that of a Bourbon than of an Irish whisky. Guess what I like more. The Grant offers a long and sticky finish that nicely vanishes in waves without any distracting moment. It is more fruitier than the taste. The Redbreast has a medium long finish basically on the same profile as is the taste. The woods are even stronger here and the fruits hide in the background. Nevertheless very enjoyable but I like the Grant again better on this dimension.

The sour apple is great! But overall nothing great related to the sample. Partly reminded me of Arran. Arran is great!

Greetings from Tennessee Either they were very active Tennessee Bourbon barrels or there was still a lot in them ..

Нос	83	Uhh? How long have you been making a single malt and then doing a charcoal mellowing?
Вкус	82	I had accidentally mixed an Aberlour 15 with Elijah Craig, somehow reminds me of it. With the second sip, it's not that bad anymore. Lemon, sweet white wine, malt, maple syrup. Still, I shake a little while drinking .....
Финиш	81	It doesn't really get any better ... God I'm glad I only had a 5cl sample of it ...

An extremely beguiling and yet unobtrusive smell invites you to constantly sip and sniff. Unfortunately, it is a bit hesitant on the palate, albeit very pleasing and supple. The exit, which is exciting again, compensates for this, which, after a brief false end, remains for a longer echo. A very elegant gentleman who would certainly be remembered even more with a few percent more. But even so, he is an enriching contemporary who knows how to please.

Нос	—	A pear monster jumps around the corner, not only ''Williams'' pears, but also ripe ''Abate Fetel'', mild aromatic oak exudes vanilla and a hint of coconut, a little bit of brown sugar, crispy short bread with pieces of candied ginger, tangerines and ripe ones Apricots are in the second row of fruit together with juicy peaches, lightly roasted slivers of almonds, a small sprig of mint has crept in, sliced star fruit with a drop of lime juice makes it even more refreshing at the same time, the barley is intact, but sublimely matured and its basic orientation is fruity and flowery , reminiscent of apple blossoms
Вкус	—	Caramelized pears, very creamy and yet sparkling like a Prosecco cream, fine roasted accents of browned grated coconut and flaked almonds, apricot dumplings, a small piece of white chocolate, the fruits are now more sour and slightly tart, towards green-spotted tangerines, also unripe mangoes and crunchy ones Peaches, a fine hint of vanilla is subtly lasting, at the end the oak becomes clearer with some light leather and a little bitterness
Финиш	—	I would have expected the finish to be shorter, surprisingly long, dry oak without any noteworthy bitterness, very nutty, roasted almonds, dark milk chocolate with a sprig of mint, reminiscent of ''After Eight'', yellow kiwi, honey pomelo, a little candied ginger comes with a chewed small pieces of meadowsweet root, a mixture of cappuccino and "Caro coffee" with milk, very late the roasted coconut note with vanilla and a memory of the fruits on the palate emerge again, peaches and tangerines as well as pears

Really successful. Beautiful fruity Speysider from the Bourbon barrel with a nice top note and commemorative value. Thanks Marko!

Нос	—	Fermented fruits and the first thought is to a gerstler. But it flies quite fast and it presents itself a marvelous Maitag on a flower meadow with many floral notes. Something grassy and subtle wood notes.
Вкус	—	Fruitcake!!! Apples, pears and passion fruit. Some butter biscuit and dough. Slight nut note and silky oily mouthfeel.
Финиш	—	Long, still fruit and some bitterness at the end, which does not bother.

Pretty light for his age. But appetizing. Oh, it smells different. Very interesting. A bit fruity, lemony, but also malty, sweet. Very strong in the mouth. Straw, elderberry, new, fresh wood. Purebred. Pure whisky.

There are enough Notes already, so I'll make it short and without Notes. Certainly a very good malt. Flowery, fresh and fruity. For only 43%, however, I find it relatively sprittig. You can drink well, but it doesn't make you nervous. You get something like that. B. from independent bottlers also cheaper.

hogsheadwhisky Expert Senior 88 07 jul 2020 2:51 pm

Very, very fruity and sweet. Both in the nose and in taste. For 18 year olds the oak is noticeable but it only underlines the other aromas. It has no rough edges. But it is very tasty and tasty. It is definitely a significant increase over the 12 year old. I cannot confirm whether it really is the "Scotch Whisky of the Year 2017" as Jim Murray said. Especially if you consider the price of just under € 100 to € 120, there are certainly many equivalent to even better drops in this price range.

Нос	89	Wow! A very nice scented potpourri of flowers and bright fruits, like ripe green and yellow apples and juicy pears, rises from the glass. So that's a great fruit nose. Vanilla sugar with sweet, light blossom honey is behind it. In the end, the aromatic oak also shows up. Overall, a nice delicate, balanced fruity, sweet nose. Nothing stands out, especially not the alcohol.
Вкус	88	An oily, beautiful mouthfeel - really creamy. Sweet caramel and a nice bright fruitiness present in the mouth right from the start. Neat vanilla follows immediately. Then the oak comes sparkling. As in the nose, it is a round thing in the mouth.
Финиш	86	The taste changes to a nice dark chocolate towards the end. The malt moves warmly down towards the stomach. The oak remains in the mouth for a little longer.

It's not a particularly complex wine, but it's very difficult to describe. However, it's a very pleasant and friendly wine, easy to drink and accepting. It doesn't fit into the current (2021-2022) mainstream styles (sherry cask or peat), but it's perfect to keep one in your wine cabinet (although it's a bit funny that I haven't repurchased this wine in over four years...). Notes date: 20210912 Rating and suggested retail price: 900/1000ML

Нос	89	It smells very good, but it's hard to describe... It's like a Chinese five-spice spice packet with added herbs, rosemary, and coconut milk.
Вкус	89	Smooth, very smooth, almost no alcohol taste, easy to drink, and by the time you feel tipsy, it's too late, haha. A touch of sweet and sour, like a few drops of apple juice. The main components are a bit hard to identify: celery, chrysanthemum greens, dried meat, and citrus peel oil.
Финиш	88	It has a slightly bitter base, but it's bitter without being astringent. It has the bitterness of fresh citrus peel.

N: News of the day: Glen Grant have replaced the 16yo, not with a NAS bottling but with an 18yo! In my mind, Glen Grant has always had an 18yo in their core range but looking through my tasting list, iv’e never encountered either the 16yo nor this 18yo. On the nose of this 18yo, its essentially clean with no fuss. T: Rather 'bog standard' and a little tannic. F: It's rather like the standard 10yo on oak - which is exactly what it is. The mouthfeel becomes more salivating at the last. C: Compared to the very good & consistent standard 10yo [that i am au fait with], this is more tannic [oak], but with a more desirable mouthfeel. I’d probably favour the 10yo overall, though it’s tit for tat. Scores a C+

Tobi2100 Connoisseur 86 11 apr 2017 2:28 pm

Good development of the 10 year old without losing his still. I like, it's just too expensive. The price is a joke even for today's conditions (04/2017 110 €).
