Суммаризация отзывов
Отзывы описывают Glenmorangie 12 Palo Cortado Finish как мягкий, довольно приятный виски с орехово-сухими и шерри-нотами, но не как «шерри-бомбу»; часть дегустаторов считает его простым и не очень сложным.
развернуть подробно
В текстовых отзывах нос чаще описывают как сладкий и мягкий: мёд, карамель, тоффи, ваниль, жёлтые и светлые фрукты (абрикос, персик, апельсин), орехи (лесной орех, грецкий орех), а также шерри-подобные ноты — изюм, сухофрукты, шоколад, специи и дуб. Несколько отзывов отдельно отмечают орехово-сухой характер и влияние Palo Cortado, при этом подчёркивается, что это не «шерри-бомба» и что сладости и изюма здесь меньше, чем, например, в Lasanta, а орехов, грибов и подлеска — чуть больше. Во вкусе повторяются карамель, тоффи, специи, чёрный перец, имбирь, дуб и дубовая горечь, орехи, шоколад, кофе, сухофрукты и сливы; текстура нередко описывается как маслянистая, а крепость ощущается заметнее, чем можно ожидать от 46%. Финиш в большинстве отзывов средний или средне-длинный, сухой, танинный, с орехами, какао, кофе, дубом и иногда фруктовой сладостью.
Вместе с тем в отзывах есть и заметная критика: виски называют простым, повторяющимся по структуре, без особой сложности и «вау»-эффекта; встречаются жалобы на слишком молодой, несбалансированный и дрожжевой характер, на резкие, кислые или винные ноты, а также на то, что интенсивность носа не поддерживается вкусом. Часть дегустаторов считает его удачным экспериментом с бочкой Palo Cortado и приятным, лёгким для повседневного употребления, особенно по скидке, тогда как другие называют его разочарованием за свою цену. Общего единодушного вывода о высоком качестве в текстах нет: оценки и впечатления расходятся от «очень удачно» и «недооценённый» до «посредственно» и «слишком сыро».

Unfortunately, the malt does not offer very much and that for this price. Glenmorangie has continued to impress in recent years with high prices and dubious finishes. Unfortunately, absolutely no successful Palo Cortado finish.

| Нос | 70 | Definitely Glenmorangie - but rather the 10-year-old than one with a Palo Cortado finish. Otherwise rather flat. |
| Вкус | 69 | Here, too, clearly the 10; clear influences from the bourbon casks, removes unripe hazelnut, very clean malt and lots of sour notes - almost unpleasant. |
| Финиш | 69 | Short, sour and bitter, meaningless. |

The first nose greets us with dry wood and varnish tones. The already familiar apples, cinnamon, minerals and black pepper are present. Sherry aging complements the aromatic profile with notes of nuts, dried fruits and chocolate. Over time, the sample becomes more honeyed and sweet, and components in the form of mushrooms, wet earth and rotten leaves appear. Taking a sip, we feel honeyed sweetness, apples with spicy spices, as well as lemon and black peppers. Then come notes of chocolate, dried fruits and indistinct nuts. The finish is medium, tannic, with raisin-dried fruit sweetness. It was interesting to compare this sample with Lasanta: both have a sherry finish, but Palo Cortado gives less sweetness and raisins, and a little more nuts, mushrooms and undergrowth.
Fine nose, relatively light fruity for a sherry finish. On the tongue then unfortunately a little less fruit, with increasing time then a tart note of wood, which also dominates the finish.
Quick hit review. Glenmorangie's lead designer should be tarred and feathered, this label looks like Photoshop beginner's course. Anyway, the nose offers an interesting mix of rose water, apricot jam and nutty notes. On the palate, plums, peppery spices and chamomile compete with anise, ginger and lemongrass. Tasty and enjoyable. Drying, tannic but with some sweet fruit at the end, the finish takes the right turn. The Palo Cortado casks add a nice twist, I like it. RATING: 3.5/5.0 stars ≙ 84 pts → ABOVE AVERAGE
Nose: Rich butterscotch, honey and ginger. Palate: Rich dark fruits—cherries, plums and raisins—with chocolate, nuttiness and slight coffee notes. A touch of meatiness adds a savoury counterpoint. A faint artificial-sweetener note may be related to the neck pour. A good balance of sweet and savoury flavours. Its rich dark-fruit and nutty character recalls GlenAllachie 11 Palo Cortado, although the Glenmorangie is less drying. Tinned peaches, coconut, honey, caramel toffee, faint whiff of golden raisins. Quite syrupy and with great mouth coating, light caramel sauce, white chocolate, vanilla scone, dash of cinnamon and nutmeg. Touch of cooked dates, golden syrup and orange citrus burst. The finish is medium length, pleasant, and somewhat drying, with sweetness and baking spices. Biscuits and malt.
Overall, it's a nice whisky, easy to drink without any discomfort, but I didn't find it very complex; there's no surprise or excitement, the flavors aren't overwhelmingly dominant, both in the nose, palate, and finish. It has a rather repetitive structure. I can enjoy it daily, although it doesn't encourage me to buy it again. I liked the Calvados Cask Finish one I tried before a bit more; that one seemed more vibrant to me, I think. I bought this one at a very discounted price, so if there's a discount, it's definitely worth trying. Otherwise, the decision is yours.

| Нос | 83 | When I opened the bottle, the first scent I detected reminded me of light sherry notes. I let it sit in a glass for a while, and initially I smelled some woody, oak aromas. After a little longer, I smelled darker, more intense scents like molasses, dates, dried figs, black raisins, and grape seeds, with a hint of oak bitterness or a touch of black pepper in the background. I also detected a slightly bitter dark chocolate or cocoa bean scent – not in a sweet sense, but more like spicy raw cocoa beans. Maybe a bit of coffee beans too, it was a very rich, bean-based smell :) The scents aren't overpowering; they come from deep within and have a subtle intensity, and I would say they are balanced. |
| Вкус | 84 | The palate is similar to the one in the nose, but slightly sweeter on the first sip. It's not oily upon first contact; after chewing for a few seconds, it spreads across the palate, leaving a slight oily sensation. There's no burning, it's smooth and easy to drink. The second sip is slightly oilier, but only after chewing. I'd say it has a hint of molasses, a bit of oak, slightly bitter dark chocolate, a bit of coffee, maybe some seeded raisins along with fresh grapes, and a very slight warmth of ginger and black pepper, but it's not burning. It's quite similar to the nose, almost in the same direction. I should also add that I detected slightly earthy and sulfuric flavors in the first sip of the second glass. |
| Финиш | 83 | At the finish, my first impressions are light walnut and hazelnut shells, followed immediately by a strong coffee, a hint of ginger and black pepper, and a slight warmth. Then it slowly begins to transform into a bitterness of dark chocolate, with a hint of oak spice in the background. As the warmth decreases on the palate, darker nuances like dates, cocoa powder, cocoa beans, and dried figs begin to be felt retronasal, similar to the nose and palate, but not very intense; they remain more superficial. I would say the last taste I get before closing is cocoa. It doesn't have a long finish; it lasts for a medium length. |
A beautiful Glenmorangie that complements the range well. The Palo Cortado finish is very successful.

| Нос | 87 | Lots of sweetness, definitely honey for me. After that comes the fruitiness on the light side. Apricot, peach, gooseberry. The herbs finish. |
| Вкус | 87 | Much power. Floral with honey and now also caramel, crumble cake with plum, spicy oak load with a very slight bitterness. |
| Финиш | 86 | Spicy of the cask remains with a fruit sweetness that's now at caramel and vanilla. I only have nuttiness in the aftertaste, which is clearly long. |
I'm not sure what happened in Glenmorangie's re-branding process... oh dear, this is mediocre at best. It doesn't help to raise my expectations, as the latest Glenmo' cask experiment bottles I have bought have been pretty mediocre in contents as well. The only reason I bought this was the Palo Cortado finish and the relative affordable price tag. Turned out better than I "feared".

| Нос | 82 | Actually not a bad nose. Light sweet floral notes. Hints of red fruit and the wood is a little "nutty". |
| Вкус | 84 | Potent spices but it's nicely complimented and mellowed by sweet fruity notes. Tasty with dry nuts evolving. |
| Финиш | 82 | Not much spice survives into the medium lengt finish. Lightly tannic dry sherry notes. |

For me, the scent is very good, but the aroma is completely different
Yes, quite nice. Definitely better than the standard 10/12-pack. The finish gives it a nutty, dry character.

The taste of boiled fruit such as apple compote. As a fan of the Glenmorangie distillery and having liked the Cask Finish series in the past, I had high hopes. However, it was a very disappointing bottle.

There have been two scotch whiskies that have made me never want to have another sherry-matured whisky again: Glenmorangie Lasanta, and now this. It had taken me YEARS to return to this brand after that bad experience with Lasanta, and now this? I think I will choose another option: maybe never have another Glenmorangie again. Anyone want to buy my unopened bottles of Ealanta or Companta?

| Нос | 87 | There is nothing wrong with this nose, in fact, it is terrific. Lovely spices and cinnamon. Sweet, rich, and intense. There is nothing delicate about this nose! Runny honey, sweet vanilla nougat in the background, and caramel. There is a "winey" edge to it, however, and at times a very strong sensation of rye (?! what the!). |
| Вкус | 82 | We are beginning to run into a problem here. The intensity and forward-ness of the nose is not matched on the palate. It starts soft and smooth, no water needed. There is an initial sweetness but as the dram progresses, it quickly becomes spicy, again very much like a rye whisky. Very strange! With time, sharp sharp sharp. |
| Финиш | 70 | This is a problem. The finish is what makes this whisky border on undrinkable (for me). It is drying and winey, bridging to sherry tones, and becoming cloying in the same way that BOTH Lasantas I've had have been. There is an interesting kind of blue cheese-y element, with coconut at time, but overall sharp, intense, and not for me. Your mileage may vary, as they say! |

Must admit I don't like the rebranding. What were they thinking. However the contents is what matters and this is nice and thanks to Peatbogger for the sample.

| Нос | 85 | I'm getting green fruits like grape, melon and kiwi. It smells light and thin but I'm sure or hoping that isn't the case. Leave it a bit longer and I'm getting citrus notes of blood orange. |
| Вкус | 86 | The world's rarest sherry? Well you wouldn't want to f#*k this one up for sure. It's not blowing my socks off but it's rather nice. That citrus I found on the nose later is at the forefront and it's zesty, tangy and spicy. This time the green fruits I mentioned are in the foreground. The 46% just adds to the kick. |
| Финиш | 87 | The finish is long because that citrus spice really sticks to the back of the throat and it creates a nice sweetness. |

A very soft, pleasant experience with this one. Nose wise The mouth feel is just enough, just on the edge of "full" making it soft and luscious on the palate. This reminds me a whole lot of Nikka from the barrel for some reason - just milder. Im pretty sure this uses caramel colorant too

| Нос | 85 | Starts out very clear and sherry-like, followed by delicate floral notes, caramelized nuts, apples, honey and later dry, spicy oak. With water: more lively, lots of malt, nutty nuances, honey, wonderful dried fruit notes, chocolate and sherry. Very fine and delicate. |
| Вкус | 88 | Strong, spicy start with lots of oak, wonderfully dry sherry, pepper, allspice, some tobacco, a hint of smoke, dark chocolate, hard caramel and cherries. With water: juicy, wonderfully dry sherry, beautiful oak, chestnut honey, heather, jute, earth and tobacco. Really very successful |
| Финиш | 85 | Long, spicy oak, wonderfully dry sherry. |
Conclusions. Not exactly a superb experience, but a fairly successful experiment with this cask. It lacks the punch to earn higher scores. Nevertheless, it's quite pleasant and positive, with no negatives at any stage of the tasting. Score: 86
For me, this is a totally underrated whisky. Very mild but lovely Palo Cortado aromas that go very well with the Glenmorangie distillate.

I would not have expected a Glenmorangie to be so intense and oily. And this applies to all levels. Really again a successful bottling in this series

| Нос | 86 | Very sweet at first, honey, then light fruit, red apple, peach, followed by a few herbs and nuts. Haribo wine gum. Compliant without being pale. |
| Вкус | 85 | Here, too, a decent intensity. Barely noticeable some grassiness at the very beginning. Acceleration a little stronger than 46% would suggest. Caramel, heavily sugared plums, then some European oak with very light tannins. Unusually present and oily for 46%. |
| Финиш | 88 | Tannins dissipate quickly, releasing vanilla, caramel, fruits, honey, haribo and nuts. Long and intense. |
For me this is too raw, young, unbalanced and yeasty.
a sniffer whisky liked it purchase candidate
Glenmorangie 12-Year-Old Palo Cortado features typical flavors of honey, candied orange peel, and cream, along with hints of dried fruit, chocolate, and spices. The overall flavor and body are quite light; the spices, nuts, and chocolate are primarily for embellishment. Don't expect a sherry bomb.
