Суммаризация отзывов
Отзывы описывают насыщенный шерри-профиль с фруктовыми, медовыми и пряными нотами, часто отмечая необходимость дать виски подышать или добавить воду. Мнения о влиянии бочки расходятся: часть считает баланс удачным, часть — что бочка подавляет характер дистиллерии.
развернуть подробно
В большинстве текстовых отзывов виски описывается как шерри-выдержанный с фруктовой и медовой основой. Упоминаются ноты сухофруктов, фиников, инжира, яблок, персиков, абрикосов, банана, груши, а также мёда, карамели, ванили, марципана, шоколада, кофе, табака, кожи и пряностей (перец, корица, гвоздика). Несколько отзывов отдельно отмечают сливочную, маслянистую текстуру и длинный финиш. Ряд отзывов указывает на высокую крепость и советует дать виски подышать или добавить воду, поскольку вначале он может быть закрытым или слишком горячим. Часть отзывов подчёркивает лёгкое тело при выраженном шерри-влиянии и хороший баланс между дистиллятом и бочкой.
Вместе с тем встречаются и критические замечания: в некоторых отзывах говорится, что бочка слишком доминирует и заслоняет характер дистиллерии Glen Keith, а сам виски мог бы быть «любым». Один отзыв отмечает нехватку выдержки, другой — избыточное влияние бочки. Таким образом, в текстах нет единого мнения: наряду с похвалой баланса и фруктовости присутствуют оценки, где бочковое влияние считается чрезмерным.

Excellent sherry whisky, good balance. The sample must be allowed to breathe well before use. Quite closed at first.

What a dram! Color: light golden Nose: woodsy notes from the woodshop - hot glue and acetone. Sweet with vanilla, marzipan and hindbærsnitte (a danish pastry). Taste: warm, creamy and fat mouthfeel. Some pepper. An absolut favorite!

Figs, dates, thick mountain honey. Elegant woodiness, peach pit, quince jam. A few cranberries, but it remains discreet, pine cones, eucalyptus. Forest undergrowth, heather. Rich, black earth. Soft and velvety mouthfeel, raisins, apple crumble, cinnamon, chocolate powder, intense spices, walnuts and hazelnuts. Long finish, quite successful, woody and earthy, very slight touch of bitterness, orange jam, dark chocolate, coffee grounds. Chicory, cloves. Sherry brings additional elements, but we also lose a little of the originality of this little-known distillery. https://ilikesky2020.blogspot.com/2023/12/glen-keith-1996-cask-strength.html

Glen Keith is too small, the barrel has eclipsed everything. Ok, good dry sherry whisky, it’s better not to look at the label so as not to get upset(... 21 22 21 22 86

Sorry mates... this GK completely lost its DNA to the cask. I consider myself a sucker for a nice GK, this whisky however could be anything. The complexity some of you perceive, well I do not get anything like that. Why bother buying a 2X yo whisky, buy a bottle PX and feast... another from Symington's letdowns...

| Нос | 90 | Nose: Delicate and refined sherry, deep in character yet light in body. It defies the expectations set by its color—no explosive sweetness or charred wood, but rather an elegant and sophisticated depth. A subtle layer of caramel over soft leather, with hints of dried fruit and fresh green grapes. Later, sun-dried tomatoes emerge, bringing a touch of fermentation and umami. The alcohol presence is almost imperceptible at the end, like a whisper of spice fizzing gently in the depths of the nasal cavity. |
| Вкус | 89 | Palate: A light-bodied whisky introduces itself slowly on the tongue, unfolding at a measured pace. Fine and velvety, it melts like truffle chocolate, gradually releasing notes of white grape juice and freshly baked cinnamon rolls. As it glides downward, it gently envelops the tongue, saturating the taste buds. Toward the finish, an intense yet refreshing burst of grape aroma and sherry lingers. |
| Финиш | 89 | Initially, I wondered if the use of sherry casks by Keith might have been too aggressive. However, the whisky maintains the distillery’s signature freshness while achieving a nuanced sherry cask expression—an impressive testament to Andrew Symington’s skill in cask selection. |

Good value if you love older Glen Keith, if you're not a big Glen Keith fan it might not stand out for you

| Нос | 89 | Fruity, chalky, peach, melon, oak, very balanced |
| Вкус | 90 | Noticeable Glen Keith chalky or mineral characteristics, gentle sherry influence, fruits are more drier compared to the nose, more on dried apricot and dried apple |
| Финиш | 89 | Long, sweet, very pleasant |
The second fill oloroso butt used to mature this Glen Keith did a hell of a job. Men! Kicks off with a fine dose of oranges and slight sour raspberries. But there’s more of those orange fruits, like peaches and apricots, they really stand out. An excellent balance between distillate and wood. Added in a nice fudgey sweetness, some tobacco and obligatory spices. Good neat, better with a teaspoon of water. I enjoyed this Glen Keith very mucho - recommended!

The nose presents like a bourbon cask whisky with a delicate dash of sherry, while the palate and finish deliver a bright yet appropriately structured sherry cask profile. It strays from the dark, heavy, spice-and-raisin bomb many expect from sherry maturation—instead offering a vibrant, lively dram backed by just enough depth to completely captivate a bourbon cask lover.

| Нос | 90 | Floral notes, apricot, apple, grape, lemon, orange, wood, mint, vanilla, chocolate, and spices. Impressively tame alcohol presentation given the high proof. A powerful wave of floral aromas leads the way, followed by sweet apricot, grape jam, and crisp, sweet apple. Citrus hovers pleasantly between lemon and orange, underpinned by bittersweet chocolate, light oak, and a warm punch of cinnamon. Closes with a crisp, cooling wave of mint that leaves a remarkably clean impression. |
| Вкус | 88 | Chocolate, raisin, apple, wood, metallic notes, saltiness, coffee, malt, spices, and an oily mouthfeel. The 58% ABV heat that hid on the nose strikes with full force on the tongue. Delivers a rich, tongue-coating viscosity. Bittersweet dark chocolate blends with a distinct metallic twang and a touch of brine, evoking the profile of salted dark chocolate. Sweet apple skin and juicy raisins follow, grounded by nutty malt and a deep, bitter espresso note. A complex mix of warm, fragrant spices adds a lively kick. |
| Финиш | 89 | Chocolate, raisin, vanilla, and apple skin. Exceptionally long finish. Sweet vanilla merges effortlessly with dark chocolate, while the heavy, dark depth of raisin is brightly balanced by the crisp, lifted citrus of fresh apple skin. |

Glen Keith I would never have guessed in this whisky, a classic modern sherry monster, powerful and without frills or depth. development appears after more than 40 minutes in the glass. Perhaps it will be really very good if you give the bottle some time to sit.

An okay dram that suffers from having too much cask influence
нос · вкус · финиш
| Нос | 89 | Creamy, sweet, honey, ripe fresh fruits, apples, tropical, slightly vanilla, very pleasant nose despite the 58% |
| Вкус | 87 | Definitely an intense body that runs hot & spicy, still definitely sweet & fruity, cherries, alot of sherry influence, definitely needs water to tame it down With water the sweetness becomes more pronounced and dominate the spiciness/hotness, definitely a dram with strong cask influence, fruity (almost tart-like), much more enjoyable & pleasant with water |
| Финиш | 88 | Long finish, the honey sweetness & peppery spiciness lingers |
