Суммаризация отзывов
Отзывы о Glen Scotia 12-year-old Icons of Campbeltown — Release No. 3: The Wulver расходятся: часть описывает сладкий, фруктовый и пряный профиль с нотками сухофруктов, мёда и красных фруктов, тогда как другие отмечают дисбаланс, горечь и неприятные ноты. Общего консенсуса по вкусу не наблюдается.
развернуть подробно
В отзывах с положительным уклоном виски описывается как сладкий и фруктовый, с нотами спелых слив, сушёного винограда, мёда, жёлтых фруктов, вишни, абрикоса и пряностей вроде гвоздики и перца; отдельно упоминаются солёные и морские оттенки, шоколад, марципан и дуб. Некоторые отмечают мягкую, маслянистую текстуру и хорошую интегрированность алкоголя, а также винную составляющую от портвейновой выдержки — с нотами красных фруктов, джема и шоколада. В то же время ряд отзывов указывает на молодость, короткий или средний финиш, а также на то, что виски требует времени или воды, чтобы раскрыться.
С другой стороны, часть отзывов резко критична: упоминаются ноты «испорченных яиц», «инсектицидного спрея», химические и неприятные оттенки, горечь, дисбаланс и несогласованность вкуса. Некоторые прямо заявляют, что сочетание спирта Glen Scotia с красным вином им не подходит, а винная составляющая, по их мнению, скорее вредит. Есть также замечания о завышенной цене и о том, что предыдущие релизы серии нравились больше. Таким образом, текстовые отзывы демонстрируют широкий разброс мнений без единого устойчивого консенсуса.

| Нос | 87 | Ripe plums and sun-dried sultanas lead, with underlying notes of fermented dough, hay, and sweet red apples. |
| Вкус | 87 | Salty accents at the beginning, followed by oak spicy, sour cherry, plum, and apricot. The aromas are well balanced, with a soft, smooth mouthfeel. Fruity and lightly woody overall. Its youth is evident, but it remains surprisingly approachable and enjoyable. |
| Финиш | 86 | Notes of dried fruits, clove and marzipan. Gently drying, leading to a relatively short finish. The aftertaste is a bit too fresh for my preference; otherwise, it is an easy-drinking and enjoyable, sherry-forward whisky. |

A very decent SM at a reasonable price. Lots of honey, wax, juicy yellow fruit, and young oak. Warming in the final phase with a touch of spice on the tongue.

tasted later on in the afternoon on WhiskyLive Hamburg, not impressed! The first two icons releases (and several Campbeltown Festival Editions) are more to my liking

Aside from the fact that it's about 30 euros too expensive at an average price of 95 euros, it does its job well.

| Нос | 85 | A sweet, briny sea breeze aroma. |
| Вкус | 86 | A salty-sweet flavor profile, presenting notes of cheese, cake, caramel, cardamom, and vanilla. |
| Финиш | 86 | Medium to long finish, with spicy notes of nuts and cinnamon. |
Interestingly, this is the oldest tasting whisky I've ever tasted despite the age statement. I didn't detect much in the way of port notes from the barrel, however, but while it started off kind of unimpressive, it opened and grew into something that tasted as old and as nice as the legend himself. Also of note: I received both a bottle and a sample. These notes are from the bottle. I actually tried the sample first, but it tasted very subtle and honestly a little poisonous and more closely resembling the insect spray flavor that some have gotten.

| Нос | 65 | Dust, orange zest, lemon, both wet and damp oak, salt, brine, sweet spice, ginger?, touch of marzipan, insect spray. |
| Вкус | 78 | Everything from the nose plus clove, black pepper and a dark grassy note. It's not too appealing at first, but it actually opens up if you leave it in your mouth for a while. |
| Финиш | 95 | Medum-long, very dusty, old oak, pepper, brine, coastal breeze, very smooth, dry, citrus zest notes returning after a while mixed with a slight touch of apricot. Honestly enjoyable. |
The Icons of Campbeltown The Wulver is a wonderfully robust and appealing port-matured whisky from Glen Scotia. It boasts a fantastic mouthfeel and rich fruit aromas. The spice notes and the wonderful selection of red fruits make it very full-bodied, expansive, and complex. A successful interplay of spices and sweet, ripe fruits. A truly great single malt from Glen Scotia. Christmas can come, the whisky is already on the shelf.

Rum soaked raisins, cocoa, chemical spray (clear off-note), old wood, mix of exotic spices. No balance. Sorry, this is not mine at all! In my opinion, Glen Scotia spirit and red wine simply do not go together.

Interestingly the nose does not give away the cask type at all. It's very heavily set on sugary sweet oranges and lemons with sweet spices like cinnamon and syrupy ginger. The taste is more bitter with added notes of clove and pepper. Now it indeed gets close to glühwein. In the finish a tannic bitterness and pepperiness do take over however, which is a little too much for me.

Glen Scotia's Icons of Campbeltown series is inspired by motifs from the Campbeltown Cross, a Celtic cross that may have originated around 1380. One of the depictions is the Wulfer, a creature said to be half wolf, half man, who lived on the outskirts of Campbeltown. By day, the Wulfer would fish alone, which he would then leave at night on the doorsteps of the needy. This bottling is 12 years old, unpeated, and finished in first-fill Tawny Port casks. Accordingly, its golden color has a slightly reddish hue. glen-efze.de

Phew, while the red-fruited nose is perfectly fine and definitely in the upper 80s range, the tart to bitter taste is definitely not my thing. Oh well.

Campbeltown, 30/6/26. “Glen Scotia Limited Editions” tasting in the distillery. With Port, the going gets tough and risky, but even in this case they played it safe, and the Portuguese wine was in contact with the whisky for only nine months. The result is a spicy malt, with light and elegant vinous notes, very sweet but not cloying, rich in hints of red fruit jam and chocolate. Here too, the alcohol is perfectly integrated—congratulations!

The aroma is initially uninviting and tight; while not completely closed, it requires a few drops of water to properly open up and reveal its profile. Structurally, it is a bold, well-made distillate that possesses excellent intensity and a fantastic heavy, oily mouthfeel.

| Нос | 82 | Cocoa, chocolate, Brazil nuts, blackberries, marzipan, salty caramel, sour cherries and other red fruits, turmeric, vanilla, clove, and roasted coffee beans. |
| Вкус | 83 | Salty and intensely sweet initially with heavy caramel, which gradually gives way to a sharper, bitter orange peel character. Body is heavy, viscous, and distinctly oily. |
| Финиш | 82 | Juicy and warming with lingering dark berries, prominent coastal salt, and a sharp, gingery oak spice. The alcohol remains noticeable throughout. |
A jumble of aromas, difficult to sort and name. 51-60 – Drinkable, but really not mine
