Отзывы в основном описывают насыщенный ванильный аромат и сладкий, сливочный вкус, хотя некоторые отмечают, что во вкусе ваниль слабее, чем в носу, и появляются древесные и пряные ноты. Финиш чаще описывают как короткий или средний.
развернуть подробно
По текстам отзывов аромат чаще всего описывается как очень ванильный, сливочный, с нотами мёда, карамели, ирисок, фруктов (персик, апельсин, лимон), выпечки и иногда мальтозной сладости; несколько отзывов прямо называют его «ванильной бомбой» и связывают это с высоким содержанием ванилина в бочках. Вкус описывают как сладкий, мягкий и сливочный, с ванилью, мёдом, карамелью, тоффи, фруктами и специями, но часть отзывов отмечает, что во вкусе ваниль выражена слабее, чем в аромате, появляются сухая древесина, дубовая пряность, перец и лёгкая горечь, а также что напиток кажется более простым или «разбавленным». Финиш в отзывах чаще короткий или средний, сладкий, с ванилью, дубом, специями и иногда лёгкой горечью; отдельные отзывы называют его самой слабой частью, тогда как другие находят его приятным и достаточно длинным.

Rating for the bottle code L2518662(!): The announced vanilla bomb is rather subdued for me. The peach turns into more of a mango puree. Nice and creamy. Despite NAS, there is no youth at all. The alcohol is well integrated and the 46% vol fits well. Surprisingly little sweetness. Instead, there is an intense, very nice oak spice, without any bitterness. Which surprises me a little based on other reviews I have already read. Is it perhaps because there are different vattings based on the quantity? Hence the different bottle codes? I'm excited to see how he develops. After the weaker Tokyo, I like this one much better. First of all, a good 86 from me. I could imagine that he could gain one or two points once he's had enough breathing room.

Best on the nose: Lots of vanilla, floral, light fruits, reminds me of the ice cream "Cuja Mara Split" from Schöller. The taste is more lemon, more vanilla and sweet. Unfortunately, there is also a bit of alcohol. Unfortunately, the finish is quickly gone. Certainly a great whisky for the summer.

scent: light, sweet, vanilla taste: smooth, rounded, vanilla, Christmas spices Sweet, it reminded me a lot of Irish whisky, Redbreast
Glenmorangie's first single malt from casks with a high proportion of vanillin in the wood This limited edition is the fifth bottling in the award-winning A Tale Of… series from the Highland distillery “Glenmorangie” As for the tasting notes, Glenmorangie A Tale of Ice Cream offers a smooth and pleasant aroma with notes of honey, vanilla, lemon candy and a hint of raisin bread. This develops into nuances of orange peel, peach, toffee and subtle spices. The taste is full and rich, with a mix of sweet and spicy notes taking center stage. Aromas of brioche, honey, fudge, sorbet, coconut, cinnamon and toffee can be detected. The finish is long, rich and sweet, making for an interesting tasting experience.
After reading the name, I expected sweet and vanilla aromas, and it was fulfilled to the letter. What I didn't expect was that instead of the intense sweetness of vanilla and powdered sugar, I got a surprising mixture of sweet and woody bitter flavors. Like eating vanilla ice cream with a wooden spoon. However, expectations were not fully met...
Nice, you can clearly see that they tried!) They can do it whenever they want!) 21+ 21+ 20+ 21 84+

I would call this issue A Tale of Vanila Pear, it would be more logical. Overall, it's a modern classic, and I'd rate it by today's standards. In the 2010s, it would have gotten less than 80 points. 21 21 21 20

Really well chosen name; soft vanilla ice, sugar sweet, oranges, lemon peel and soft oak tones, a fresh and fruity dram.

It’s a bit thin, the vanilla comes through strong, but straight to oak/pepper finish. Simple but good if you like vanilla.

Each tale says consistent but different story written by the whisky. Here the start - nose - gives a lot of vanilla, cream, fruits, summer vibe. Start of palate is more of ice cream, sweet, nice, creamy and vanilla. Later it gets more o to spices, fruits, wood and even some smoke. Pretty complex and multi layer whisky - another take worth trying. Maybe not the best but very decent!
The nose is super interesting, I've never had so much vanilla in a Scotch. Unfortunately, the taste is nothing special. A little vanilla, a little honey, a little wood. If you were blind, this could be the 10yo standard. Or the X.

The marketing department at LVMH has done a great job here, suggesting that a very special vanilla aroma gives the impression of ice cream. For me, that's a bit of nonsense. Yes, it has hints of vanilla and smells like pound cake with vanillin and rum. There's also a little malt and slightly bitter oak. It seems quite soft and creamy on the nose. In the mouth, the whole thing is stronger and sharper, there is pepper, the aromas are the same, with the exception of the vanilla. This is more subliminal in the mouth. I find more of the bitter wood and the malt also has a slight citrus influence. Balvenie has a single cask made from bourbon barrels, which it reminds me of. The Balvenie is much stronger and, in my opinion, offers more vanilla in the mouth. The finish here, however, is quite short. Overall, the Glenmorangie offers little more in the mouth than the normal 10. I can only confirm this opinion, which has already been expressed here. It's a 30-40€ whisky, no more and no less. The trendy packaging probably makes up the additional 40€.

Nose: Honey and vanilla, almost like a bourbon but without the glue note. Mouth: sweet, malt and lots of wood, but not bitter. The whisky needs time in the glass, which makes it taste much better.

Well, I don't really think of ice cream, but I can understand the association until I swallow it. You can imagine a scoop of creamy bourbon vanilla ice cream in there if you want. But in terms of the taste and much of the finish, I think of fresh wood and spicy vanilla notes, not ice cream. The experiment with "high-vanillin cask" was definitely a success for me, and you can taste an enormous amount of vanilla. I actually find it quite tasty, but €70-80 is a bit much for it. I think I would pay €50. Pretty tasty. Sample whisky!

Aroma: pleasant, creamy aroma, malt distillate, bourbon vanilla Taste: sweet, very dessert, delicious - this will be a very popular dram, the finish is medium long and pleasantly spicy
Initially some pretty tough oak spices dominate the dram. After a while the beautiful notes of vanilla, orange are prominent with a wonderful sweetness.

| Нос | 85 | Orange, vanilla and quite prominent some oak spices. Once the spices have settled, candy cotton and sweet orange jam. Creme brulee, ripe peaches, orange liquor and floral. The dram definetely needs some time to show all of its facets. Maybe hints of some pine wood. |

Not my kind of whisky, but at least it is what the package would make one think it is. Sweet vanilla oak juice without any distillery character.

a very pleasant Glenmorangie and a good representative of the category: bourbon cask maturation, you have a really sweet whisky in the glass with the typical characteristic aromas such as vanilla, honey, caramel, I like it very much [P/L] around 80€ is not too much for the good quality, tip for lovers of ex-bourbon cask maturations!

The name says it all and the nose is seductive, but unfortunately only partially confirmed on the palate. The finish then has a slight upward trend with fine wood notes and marzipan standing out. I think it's OK, not spectacular, but it wouldn't be a bad buy either - 07.02.2025

I'd say rather than an "ice cream" flavor, this whisky has a "mild note" of what you'd smell when walking into an old wooden floor ice cream parlor. Sadly, the flavor doesn't develop in the glass well at all, which makes it more suited for a sniff and shoot more than a sit and enjoy. Besides that, it under-delivers but still presents itself as a decent whisky, particularly if you took the "tale of ice cream" name off of it to give you unbiased hopes or expectations.

| Нос | 90 | Custard, caramel, vanilla, sugar, oak, waffle cone, slight lemon, touch of popcorn, nose-tingling level of ethanol without the ethanol flavor. |
| Вкус | 78 | the ethanol flavor is immediately pronounced, sugar, waffle cone, lemon, bourbon, buttered popcorn... after sitting in the glass just a few minutes to air, the ethanol became overwhelming and turned the palate to just straight ethanol and bourbon with a hint of apples like you'd find with generic bourbons! If drunk right away, it's palatable. |
| Финиш | 86 | Medium-length, sweet, vanilla and caramel, thankfully no ethanol up front. After a while, both ethanol and a touch of apple, lemon and slight hint of raspberry show up after a while. |
nose: smells like a rye, gasoline, sweet buttery corn, popcorn, vanilla, yogurt ish(乳酸）, touch cinnamon, mouth: oily mouth feel, sweet pineapple candy, fruit candy, peaches, minerals, butter scotch, 香蕉油 finish: mid, very sweet, wood fragrance, floral
This is supposed to be ice cream...? Hardly sweet, dry and sour. Awful!

An interesting and pleasant whisky. Not too complex, but still well-made. Finish is its biggest weakness, as it is short and quite bland.
нос · вкус · финиш
| Нос | 84 | A true vanilla bomb on the nose. It is more complex than straightforward vanilla though, evolving into milk chocolate, orange creamsicle and freshly baked cookies on a woody background. Really pleasant nose, but lacks a bit of intensity. |
| Вкус | 82 | A bit disappointing after the nose. The vanilla is still present, but seems to fade into the malty, woody, generic background. Could almost be mistaken for an original 10/12 Glenmorangie, but still creamier on the palate. |
| Финиш | 80 | Short, enjoyable yet disappointing finish. Citrus, ginger and fresh wood, with the vanilla now a mere, distant echo. |

An old school ice cream parlour. Exactly what it says on the tin
Overall, I can say they’ve crafted a whisky that truly lives up to its name. It is redolent of patisserie aromas and flavors; at times, you might even get the sensation of eating cocoa and vanilla ice cream. It is quite delicious and smooth yet not watery; it definitely has a perceptible body. While whiskies that are very sweet can sometimes become cloying, I didn't find this one overwhelming in that regard; to me, the spiciness feels perfectly pitched and balancing. That said, it is still possible that those who dislike sweetness might find it a bit much by the second or third glass. It certainly doesn't underperform for its price point; I liked it a lot, though I wouldn't go so far as to say I was blown away. I would happily buy and enjoy it again at this price it’s not a whisky you’ll regret trying. Cheers.

| Нос | 85 | The moment I open the bottle and bring it to my nose, I can easily detect the initial aromas: hints of cocoa reminiscent of sherry notes, followed by sweet scents like sweet malt and vanilla. After letting it sit in the Glencairn glass for about 15 minutes, I smell it again; it evokes images of something quite sweet light milk pudding, a touch of caramel, and oven fresh rice pudding with a lightly browned top. It is a specific sensation, but I also pick up an aroma similar to a cake fresh from the oven with a slightly over-browned bottom. As I continue to nose it, vibrant, sweet aromas reminiscent of pleasant, sugary perfumes and pastry shop scents along with intense notes of vanilla, cream, powdered milk, and white sugar, rush to the nose, truly living up to the whisky's name. In the background, a very subtle scent of toasted oak and a slight tartness akin to citrus peel can also be detected. |
| Вкус | 84 | I took a very small sip to prime my palate; sweetness takes center stage here, accompanied by a very mild spicy warmth that creates the impression of a smooth mouthfeel. Upon taking another small sip, I found it to be lively, aromatic, and quite sweet yet noticeably spicy; it is medium-bodied neither overly oily nor watery and offers a balanced sensation without drying out the palate. As I continued sipping to discern and articulate the flavors, I detected an intense malt sweetness reminiscent of baked goods like cakes and pies, notes of mixed cocoa and vanilla ice cream, hints of caramelized milk-based desserts, and powdered sugar; alongside these, I could perceive distinct toasted oak spice, a subtle black pepper warmth that didn't feel harsh on the tongue, and perhaps a very faint touch of citrus zest. |
| Финиш | 84 | The finish follows a similar trajectory to the flavors experienced on the palate; as it goes down, burnt caramel and malt sweetness emerge, immediately followed by charred oak and a mild black pepper heat that lingers on the tongue. Meanwhile, as one continues to exhale through the nose, distinct notes of vanilla, sweet malt, light cocoa, cream, powdered sugar, and flavors reminiscent of milk-based desserts such as a crème brûlée with a caramelized top or rice pudding can be clearly perceived. These flavors persist for a duration slightly longer than medium-length. |
