Суммаризация отзывов

Отзывы в основном описывают фруктово-медовый профиль с минеральными и травянистыми нотами, влиянием как шери, так и экс-мескалевых бочек, а также специями и лёгкой дымностью. Мнения о финише расходятся: часть отмечает короткий и незапоминающийся, другие — довольно долгий.

развернуть подробно

Нос в отзывах чаще описывается как фруктовый и медовый, с яблоками, грушами, персиками, абрикосами, цитрусовыми и тропическими нотами, дополненными ванилью, специями, цветочными и земляными оттенками. Отдельно упоминаются минеральность и выраженная травянисто-вегетативная составляющая, которую связывают с экс-мескалевыми бочками, хотя ожидаемого дыма в ней часто не находят; шери, по ряду описаний, остаётся на втором плане и добавляет изюмную сладость. Во вкусе отмечают мёд, ваниль, восковость, садовые и жёлтые фрукты, карамель, специи вроде перца, имбиря и чили, а также солёные и умами-ноты. Финиш описывают по-разному: от короткого и незапоминающегося до длинного, с солью, минеральностью, специями, сухостью, кожей 和 дымными нюансами. Общий тон отзывов: виски воспринимается как необычный и интересный, но сильно обусловленный бочками — неоднократно звучит мысль, что влияние касков доминирует и характер самого Glen Ord почти неразличим. Часть отзывов прямо называет результат разочарованием или слишком разбавленным и «спиртуозным», другие считают его удачной и убедительной вариацией профиля, а некоторые ставят под сомнение, что напиток легко узнать вслепую.

At first, this whisky smells like some unripe ringlot, but when it opens up, it's beautifully fruity. The taste is beautiful and full of fruit at first, but it has a short finish and the whisky is not memorable at all, in other words, it's average, even though the alcohol is nicely integrated.

I really enjoyed the Chardonnay-barreled Singleton. I was really looking forward to it, but it didn't quite live up to my expectations.

90ClubWhisky Connoisseur 87 12 aug 2026 9:15 pm

Golden in color. There is a certain oiliness in the structure.

нос · вкус · финиш

Нос	86	It's a bit aggressive at first. Alcohol is noticeable. Earthiness. Vegetable aromas. You can feel the influence of mezcal barrels. Spices. Spiciness. Chili. Lots of freshly cut ginger. Underneath, a hint of orchard fruit. Potatoes, still in their skins, before cooking. Even a subtle smokiness. After a while, a delicate sweetness emerges. Pears and apples, very ripe. Perhaps even cooked. Very distinctive on the first try. The second nose is much better. Baked orchard fruit. Baked apples. Yellow fruit. Baked peaches. Dried apricots. Dried apples.
Вкус	87	Orchard fruit. Yellow fruit. Peaches in sweet syrup. Baked apples. Baked potatoes. Earthiness. Slightly smoky aromas. A pinch of spice. Ginger. Perhaps a touch of chili or hot pepper. Caramel, even a slightly burnt one. A decidedly oily texture.
Финиш	87	Baked apples. Toffee, but less sweet. Burnt caramel. Spices. A slight spiciness. Cocoa. Dark chocolate. Dark chocolate. A hint of coffee. A hint of earthiness. The finish is even more pleasant the second time around. Quite a long finish.

Whisky_Art Expert Senior 87 22 oct 2025 8:39 pm

The decision to leave space for the finish in ex mezcal proves to be successful, a convincing variation on the classic profile of the label that highlights the characteristics of the cask without overshadowing the distillate. Notable.

нос · вкус · финиш

Нос	88	Peculiar, with a pronounced mineral and vegetal component, slightly sulfurous, that stands out against the white (apple, peach, pear, dried apricot) and tropical (pineapple, mango) fruity notes, with a consistent background of honey and beeswax. The aging in ex-sherry is almost muted, allowing space for candied citrus pastries, sugar paste, marzipan, and spice (cinnamon, a pinch of nutmeg). On the palate, a note of red fruits (currants, raspberries, raisins) emerges in the length. Curious.
Вкус	87	Peppery and slightly spicy, with abundant black pepper, ginger, and chili supported by a nonetheless unobtrusive strength. The impressions of white fruit and citrus return, always accompanied by a clear mineral vein with sulfurous traits, with salty hints especially along the sides of the palate. The pastry is less incisive, relegated to the background, while a smoky and herbal part makes its way along the tasting.
Финиш	87	Long, with salty and mineral notes that expand on the palate, prompting salivation (and more drinking), accompanied by spices, white fruit, lemon, and a whiff of smoke.

LongPourAmourBlog Expert Senior 85 19 nov 2025 11:31 am

Blog online on 10 December 2025 on my website: www.longpouramour.com My conclusion: "This bottling is all about the cask, and the question remains if the result would have been the same if a single malt similar to Glen Ord would have been used. In short: what did the spirit itself contribute to the mix, other than allowed the casks to shine? Entertaining stuff, at the expense of Glen Ord."

Koning Connoisseur 86 21 nov 2025 10:13 am

I was a bit sceptical beforehand with this unconventional cask composition. The mezcal and sherry casks somehow add to the spirit instead of overpowering it. The sherry casks stay on the background and add some raisin-like sweetness. The mezcal cask are maybe a bit more prominent and add green leafy notes, albeit not the expected smoke. Not a release I would buy, but nice and interesting enough to try!

нос · вкус · финиш

Нос	85	A subtle yet complex nose. It's a bit fruity (apples and pears), a bit spicy and a bit sweet (malt sugars and a light sherry influence)
Вкус	86	Starts quite leafy and green/vegetal. This must be the mezcal speaking, although it misses the smoky element. Furthermore citrus fruits, apples, raisins and ginger develop.
Финиш	87	A warming finish with spices, apple pie, oranges and again the leafy green note of the palate.

Airy freshness, a light tropical humidity, fleeting fruits: persimmon, melon, ripe pears. Raisins, cinnamon, baked apples. Candied lemon, toasted agave, then vegetal notes: reeds, bamboo, a few lychees. On the palate, it's softer, with honey and crushed apricots, white peaches and prickly pears, a pinch of salt and ginger. Subtle spices and earthy notes. A fairly long finish: dry earth, white pepper, tanned leather, dried fruit, macerated almonds. Crushed hazelnuts, orange zest, mint leaf. It's not bad, but it doesn't have the classic characteristics of a whisky; the mezcal has a lot of influence here. https://ilikesky2020.blogspot.com/2026/01/the-singleton-glen-ord-17-yo-special.html

DerHansDerKanns Expert Senior 87 24 oct 2025 9:16 pm

When I read about Mezcal & Sherry, I thought it could be something. I was wrong; I really like the whisky.

нос · вкус · финиш

Нос	87	The nose begins with strong spices, vanilla paste, and tropical notes like mango and pineapple. The sherry is present, but not dominant. Then mineral notes emerge, and the mezcal leaves a peppery, sweet aftertaste.
Вкус	87	The mezcal is more expressive here. Mineral, peppery, agave sweetness, sherry spiciness & dark notes, marzipan and maritime.
Финиш	86	Long, extreme pineapple notes

Overall: "Is this Glen Ord? It's very unique." The spirit's character seems to match Glen Ord, but with the addition of unique umami, saltiness, and smoky nuances, I don't think I would recognize Glen Ord if drinking it blind. I suspect the umami, saltiness, smoky, and aloe (or agave) nuances I've been mentioning come from mezcal casks, but since there are absolutely no notes characteristic of mezcal or tequila, I am unsure exactly what product was used. I even wonder if a smoky mezcal was involved. The second-fill sherry is actually more distinctly felt. While I wondered if I had been fooled by Diageo again regarding the aroma, the taste and finish have returned to being quite decent.

нос · вкус · финиш

Нос	86	Green Apple / Pear / Honey / Floral / Aloe / Raisin / Vanilla / Mint / Orange / Peach Hint / Smoky Hint Before swirling, the aroma is weak and the sensation is low. After swirling, a sensation befitting the ABV is felt. For a 17-year-old, it lacks a sense of maturity. The refreshing nuance of green apple comes across the most strongly. A subtle blend of cool pear scent makes it brighter and more refreshing. There is a subtle, refreshing floral scent, but it is not strong, so it feels like refined honey, and there is a noticeable honey aroma that also brings to mind acacia honey. It is not dominantly strong. A faint nuance of toffee is mixed in. - The refreshing scent naturally leads to aloe-like nuances. - A subtle nuance of raisins can be felt. It serves to add a delicate layer to the base along with vanilla. There is also a faint minty sensation. It brings to mind apple mint with a hint of sweetness, or spearmint with a slightly stronger kick. The citrus notes are just right and provide balance. It has an orange-like feel, so I don't think the 17-year aging is a lie. A faint hint of peach permeates the entire scent. Likewise, a faint smoky nuance is present. - Overall Impression: It does not feel like a 17-year-old aged whisky, and mezcal nuances are barely discernible. Rather, it is closer to a bourbon cask, with faint sherry cask notes blended in. One might wonder if the aloe-like nuances originated from the mezcal casks. As time passes, raisin and peach nuances emerge slightly more, making the intensity a bit stronger.
Вкус	88	Toffee / Honey / Green Apple / Pear / Raisin / Pineapple / Lemon / Ginger / Vanilla / Smoky Hint / Umami / Salt / Dark Chocolate / Artificial Peach The texture feels silky. There is also a slightly light sensation mixed in. The order of the notes is very jumbled, but the various flavors are felt mixed together with quite strong intensity. At first, the sweetness of the toffee is strongly felt. As you adapt to the intense toffee and the flavor progresses to the middle, the sweetness becomes lighter and transforms into the sweetness of honey, but the intensity does not weaken and continues strongly. The refreshing and light sensation of green apple is strongly felt from the start. However, as it loses its intensity, it fades away, leaving only a subtle freshness. There is also a slight hint of the coolness of pear mixed in. Pineapple is felt moderately, followed by a tingling sensation that naturally transitions into spice. There is also a noticeable sweet nuance of raisins. However, rather than the raisins found in first-fill sherry, it is a slightly more restrained nuance—strong in intensity but felt from a somewhat distanced perspective. A subtle lemon citrus note passes by. The spice is more emphasized than the citrus, and while it is not ginger flavor, the pungent sensation of ginger is strongly felt on the tongue. The vanilla feels rich. It emerges as the main note in the middle section, as if feeling wronged for not being able to stand out first while being buried by the other flavors. A slightly smoky sensation slowly rises to the nose. It is not strong. Rather, umami lingers slightly on the tongue, adding a sense of heaviness, and the saltiness of the salt is intensified. It feels as if the ash and earthy notes of Scottish mainland peat have been reduced, while the umami and saltiness have been maximized. The smooth bitterness of dark chocolate blends in naturally. A faint scent reminiscent of artificial peaches slowly rises to the nose. It feels more natural than fabric softener and like a well-made peach-scented hand cream, but it lingers subtly so it doesn't feel unpleasant. - Overall Impression: I was extremely disappointed with the aroma, leading me to suspect it was yet another collection of Diageo failures. The taste is decent in both intensity and layering. However, the nuances of mezcal are barely detectable. Did it come across as umami and salt?
Финиш	87	Toffee / Umami / Salt / Agave? / Pepper / Ginger / Raisins / Dark Chocolate / Vanilla / Leather / Mint - The finish follows a medium to long length. - The sweetness of toffee comes out strongly at first. There is a faint hint of honey, but the nutty and sticky textures make it feel much closer to toffee. It quickly loses its intensity, leaving only a subtle, sugary sweetness. The umami flavor feels much stronger than the taste. There is also a significant saltiness, which makes you keep wanting more. There is a slight nuance reminiscent of agave or aloe. It feels like a base note. - A slight scent of pepper can be felt, and the pungent sensation of ginger is quite strong. As the finish progresses, a subtle dark chocolate note is felt, with a touch of vanilla added. There are notes of lightly tanned leather that has been sitting for a long time. At the end, a slight minty coolness lingers. - Overall: The sweetness, umami, and saltiness are very emphasized. It has a unique charm.

Good sherry finish that reminds me a bit about Bunnahabhain in character. It is too thin and spirity though, and brings nothing else of interest. I don't recognize 17 years of maturation here. Feels more like a 10-year old that has had 9 years in used up barrels that give nothing, and 1 year in good sherry barrels. Far, far away from being worth that price

StefanKatonaXXL Expert Senior 82 31 oct 2025 9:52 pm

This whisky needs a lot of time in the barrel to open up, really extreme. Despite the fact that I regularly buy some models of this brand at home, this one disappointed me completely. I admit that I can really feel the influence of the Mezcal barrels in the aroma, to my great surprise. But apart from that, the whisky is very bland, boring and there is too little of everything. It has floral, sweet, honey, fruity candy notes that could work as a whole, but my problem is that they are terribly difficult to literally extract from the whisky. Definitely a disappointment for me...

Nose: Earthy, delicate, velvety, with a hint of peat smoke . Lots of sweetness and sherry in the background. Menthol sweets, liquorice, aniseed and tropical fruits . Taste: Thick and sweet . Manuka honey, papaya, burnt toast with butter, wax, acacia honey, citrus and lemon zest , green grapefruit. Finish: Salty caramel, vanilla, grilled vegetables, buckwheat honey. Over time, it moves towards dry notes .A very unusual Singleton and Glen Ord – meaty, intense and full of character.A clear step forward

Interesting... On the nose, it is initially delicate and shy, but soon reveals a creaminess wrapped in sweet, floral smoke; then, fruity accents emerge—peach, melon, agave syrup, dark chocolate, and even cocoa powder... On the palate, one detects sweet smoke, vanilla, candied mango, papaya, and pineapple—all dusted with sweet chili powder, alongside a hint of eucalyptus water or cool tea... The finish is surprisingly long, dominated by sweet smoke, candied fruit, and spices. This is an interesting release from the Glen Ord distillery, though unfortunately, it is completely dominated by the influence of the casks—I detect absolutely none of the distillery's characteristic style here. Nevertheless, the whisky is tasty, intriguing, cohesive, and multi-layered, with a distinct character. Saying this, I must admit being a carper of any ex-Mezcal/Tequila maturation/finishing...
