Суммаризация отзывов
Отзывы в основном положительные: виски хвалят за выдержанный, «олдскульный» хересный профиль, насыщенность и пряность, хотя некоторые считают его слишком сладким, «утопленным» в хересе или перегруженным дубом, а цену — завышенной.
развернуть подробно
В большинстве отзывов этот Glen Grant описывают как мощный и насыщенный хересный виски с «олдскульным» характером выдержки. Отмечают ноты сухофруктов (финики, изюм, чернослив), орехов, тёмного шоколада и какао, мёда, табака, кожи, специй (корица, гвоздика, мускатный орех) и дуба; нередко говорят о густой, маслянистой текстуре и долгом, тёплом послевкусии. Часть отзывов подчёркивает, что виски требует времени в бокале: после 20–30 минут (или дольше) аромат раскрывается, а добавление воды делает его мягче и подчёркивает пряность. Некоторые прямо называют его удачным и комплексным, проводя параллели со «старой школой» хересной выдержки.
Вместе с тем есть и заметная доля критики. Ряд отзывов считает виски слишком сладким либо, наоборот, «плоским» и посредственным, с невыраженным характером Glen Grant. Другие жалуются на избыток дуба и слишком сильные танины, на «утопленность» в хересе, «тонкость» и резкость во рту, а также на слабый или короткий финиш. Несколько отзывов отдельно критикуют соотношение цены и качества, называя цену завышенной; встречаются и сомнения в объективности отзывов. Таким образом, мнения расходятся: одни хвалят насыщенный хересный стиль, другие считают его перегруженным и не стоящим своей цены.

Fantastic old school sherry maturation. I think Signatory used an excellent barrel here. Wonderful symbiosis of the clear Glen Grant notes and the cask influence. However, the pricing of the Signatory vases is now not very consumer-friendly
Very good sherry wood, spices, powerful, flawless, probably a bit lack of sweetness - nevertheless pretty good!

Very tasty sherry influence, from nose to finish. Round, pleasant, elegant, but not overwhelming. 91-100 – Whisky heaven, best stuff

A disappointment. Yes, a little old school sherry on the nose, but that's about it. Mediocre whisky. Glen Grant character completely non-existent. Mouthfeel unfortunately thin and sharp. If only it were a real sherry bomb - but the flavors are also quite bland. Anything but outstanding. Overhyped.

Beautifully balanced whisky! Sherry seems to dominate at first. But... it takes time. After 20-30 minutes a great scent is created.
I have no idea what earth-shattering things others will get from this bottling. A completely flattened basic character. And whisky no longer recognizable under a wet sherry board. A boring bottling that has been available in abundance from UA for years. Wet sherry casks with a steam hammer for maturation so that they are dark and intense. Completely forgetting what whisky was all about: delicate, interwoven and noble aromas. Absolutely interchangeable average with ridiculous PLV. Put, six.
Red fruits, nuts, chocolates espresso, tobacco, maraschino cherries, intense and balanced sherry bomb, very enjoyable

This Glen Grant comes across as a fully matured sherry, although the finish was probably only three years. That is something to be concerned about. Initially relatively weak on the nose, but if you give the malt enough time in the glass, it is certainly convincing.

Glen Grant 2000 SV for Wu Dram Clan - a very successful bottling like all the bottles that Boris and his boys chose. In advance, there was discussion in a few chats about the fact that it was “just” maturation in a fresh 1st fill sherry butt of three years and that the whisky had been in a barrel that had been filled several times for 20 years before that. I think to myself: what the heck? In the end it's the taste that counts and it's absolutely great. After all, the Glen Grant was in the barrel for 23 years. It comes with a lot of aromas. And what's particularly great: it doesn't have a "modern" sherry profile, but rather has an old look. You have to find that in the whole Firstfill Sherrymonster mainstream these days. A great bottling that has its price. But you really get a lot for your money. Edit: After a second tasting with a little more water, the Glen Grant becomes much more pleasant and, above all, better. Diluted to approx. 50%, it shows its full potential. And: give it TIME! I'm lovin it

| Нос | 91 | Old sherry, dried fruits, dark plums, blackberries, raisins, dark chocolate, orange marmalade, currants, walnuts, old leather, tobacco and fine spices from the wood. Wow, an old school sherry board. The sherry doesn't flatten everything, but presents itself wonderfully integrated into the overall work of art. You might think you hear nuances of the good old Werter's Reals. With a little water, the nose becomes a little rounder, so that the spice notes become a little more intense and represent a harmonious counterpoint to the sherry sweetness. |
| Вкус | 92 | The 57.3% pushes hard on the tongue, a real fire immediately spreads in the mouth, the flow of saliva is massively stimulated, it gets hot! Dark chocolate, nuts, orange peel, cocoa, a touch of marzipan and the sweetness of sherry battle it out with the spice notes. The second sip feels a little more leisurely on the tongue as she gets used to the power. Surprisingly, the sweetness dominates for a few seconds before the fire hits the tongue again. Black pepper, herbs… Wow, what an interplay of elements. After chewing for a while, the Glen Grant becomes more and more pleasant on the tongue. The salivation continues and it's a real pleasure to explore the whisky. |
| Финиш | 90 | The finish is long-lasting. You have to sort through your impressions first. The sweetness sticks to the palate, the raisins and plums hit again before the mouth slowly becomes drier. Now the spicy notes of the wood predominate and slowly displace the sherry sweetness. Very great, I like it! |

Dear Lord this is an amazing whisky. It reminds me both Karuizawa and 1970s Speysiders, and that is something I wasn't prepared for. Follow the link for the full review! https://maltfascination.com/2023/12/15/glen-grant-23-2000-2023-first-fill-sherry-butt-4-57-3-signatory-vintage-for-wu-dram-clan/

I have the same opinion as Prof_Dr_John, a very successful bottling! Anyone who gives the whisky time and peace will be rewarded. Just the right drink for winter...Slàinte Mhath
another paid marketing whisky of these very suspicious bottler from Germany.. Do not support their behaviour of using fake reviews. The whisky itself is an average Glen Grant. No need to purchase..

Scent: dark chocolate, cream, nutmeg, vanilla, dark fruit Taste: smooth and silky, no obvious alcohol stimulation, vanilla cream, caramel, nutmeg, tropical fruit, fruit preserves Finish:Caramel, nutmeg Notes: though sherry cask finished, it has a lot of sherry flavor, not a lot of wood flavor, and no sulfur, so it's pretty good 88
It has an oily viscosity and a relatively intense bouquet. I detect aromas of dried fruit, raisin syrup, vanilla, leather, nuts, honey sweetness, chocolate, and plum wine. It's moderately complex. A good balance between sweetness and dryness in terms of flavor. The alcohol is well integrated, and it has a heavy body.
What a good wine, just right for the Christmas season. Sweet and yet also spicy, maple syrup, caramel, tobacco, dried culinary herbs, dried dark fruits, chocolate, light freshness, leather, walnut... Wow, really surprised at how complex it is. With water the spice comes across even more intense????
A large amount of dates, figs, buckwheat honey. Slightly striking alcohol content, after a while wet tobacco, varnishes, black tea,

What I expected, it is drowned in sherry. So first, why do you finish a sherry cask whisky in a sherry cask? Because it wasn't good enough? This becomes very obvious in the finish which isn't really there. Overall, when it comes to a fair comparison to other whiskys in this price range, it falls back even more. Second, the price: it is all about reputation meanwhile, Wu Dram can ask for such a price, but tasted blind, I'd never pay more than the half for it for what you get. Considering this price ratio, more remaining points fall apart. Be real guys.

It was in the barrel for too long, and after they discovered that, they tried to cover up the strong oak with sherry - which failed, if you ask me. I can let it breathe for half an hour, but that doesn't make the exaggeratedly spicy mouthfeel any better...it's a good thing I only had one sample - I don't need a large bottle.

Here an attempt was made to save a whisky that was actually already over the top. The nose is far too weak and the taste is dominated by too much wood. Even if there is a pleasant sweetness in between, the tannins are too strong.
Finally another bottling that brings this oldskool sherry flavour with it. Fruits, dark flavours and a johanis berry unfold in the nose and provide a fruity component. In the mouth, the musty old sherry character spreads out - not had for a long time. The newer bottlings often have a very modern, usually extremely idle sherry character. This one is different. The finish is long and pleasant. Conclusion: 275 is not cheap but I had to search for a long time to find a GG from an Indy of this age. Therefore probably justified, and signatory is usually very fair.
Enticing stuff that feels like it would evolve in the bottle pretty well.
I can just repeat what has been said. The most important factor here is TIME. Let him breathe at least 30 Minutes and you will be rewarded with outstanding stuff. Lightyears away from those modern whiskied Sherries.
