Суммаризация отзывов
Отзывы описывают Glen Spey 12 F&F как лёгкий, зерновой и часто фруктовый виски с заметной дубовой горечью и скромной сложностью. Мнения расходятся: часть отмечает приятную сбалансированность, другие — молодость, спиртуозность и слабую интегрированность алкоголя.
развернуть подробно
В текстовых отзывах нос чаще всего описывают как лёгкий и фруктовый: зелёные яблоки и груши, цитрус, мёд, ваниль, зерновые и солодовые ноты, иногда сухофрукты, кокос и бисквитный/хлебный характер. Несколько отзывов упоминают более специфические оттенки — травянистость, лесную подстилку, старые орехи, а также слабые металлические или «бинтовые» нюансы. Вкус в основном описывают как лёгкий, солодово-зерновой, медовый и фруктовый, но с заметной горечью, дубом и специями (белый и чёрный перец, чили, корица). Финиш чаще средний или средне-короткий, с дубом, горечью, специями, мёдом и орехами; отдельные отзывы отмечают сухость и вяжущий дубовый оттенок.
Общий тон отзывов неоднороден. Положительные тексты говорят о «хорошо собранном», «плотном и насыщенном для молодого виски», «приятном и лёгком» характере, иногда о кремовости и удачном сочетании молодости и дерева. Критические отзывы указывают на молодость, слабую интегрированность алкоголя, водянистость, спиртуозность, доминирование бочки и ограниченную запоминаемость; один отзыв прямо называет его «для коллекционеров, а не для питья». Несколько отзывов отмечают, что вода по-разному влияет на баланс — от «становится плоским» до «немного улучшает баланс». В целом тексты сходятся на лёгком, зерново-фруктовом профиле с дубовой горечью, но расходятся в оценке сложности и общего качества.

Glen Spey 12 year old Flora and Fauna 43%. Golden yellow. Nice natural looking colour for a 12 yo Scotch whisky. For something that's been produced by Diageo, this is totally unheard of. They must have forgotten to dump in a load of caramel. Someone probably got sacked for that. Aroma is biscuity oak, borderline mousy but always stays biscuity, crackers. Touch of dried apple and coconut. Very dried out fruits and trail mix. Good. Coconut biscuit nose, or unsweetened coconut macaroons. Bread dough. Taste is bready. Give us this day our daily whisky. Salt crust sourdough. Quite a simple bready character but it’s rounded, cohesive, well-constructed. Crystal clean spirit with bready vibes and just subtle hints this way and that way towards spice, floral and fruit notes. Barely a hint of tannic astringent oak – just a bit towards the finish after a few sips. Never seems anywhere near underpowered despite the low abv. Well, that’s a solidly made whisky. Profoundly well put together, actually. It’s impressive from a production standpoint. You can really tell from the taste that a human has thought about this and done their job well – it’s not just a ‘this is what came out the barrel’ job. Casks have been discarded and casks have been chosen with an outcome in mind. This F&F series was a really good one when they got it right. If only their bottlings were consistent! 3.675/88
S 6 For collectors, not drinkers. A typical blending malt with limited memorable distillate character. Water slightly improves the balance but overall it's still cask-driven and spirit. 71-80 - Drinkable, worth the experience at least

Better then expected, pretty light and polished whisky, I guess wide market can enjoy it neat Better when small sips are taken, will look for this one at auctions, it definitely worth 30 euros this is going for in there NOTE: Not sure which batch I am drinking

At first glance, the taste is very straightforward and quite alcoholic. Nothing worth remembering
Bright, straw color. The whisky is not too oily.

COLOR: Gold - a really good 12 year old standard malt - tasty, pleasant, not too complex and yet interesting - comparable in league with Dalwhinnie 15 J. - due to the rarity of this distillery, at around 50€ it is not that expensive for a 12 year old single malt
I wasn't convinced by this whisky during the tasting. While the nose offered a creamy impression of vanilla and apple pie, the palate was dominated by bitter and woody notes, which I didn't find appealing. Unfortunately, it's not for me.

He is out of round and the alcohol is not very well integrated; first watery then oily. You will not get the fresh citrus flavors here but rather the artificial or perfumed version. The bitterness also works - 15.12.2017

https://whiskylovingpianist.wordpress.com/2020/05/25/on-location-dalwhinnie/ N: I’m nosing a weighty whisky, one with an oily maltiness, vanillas, cereals [grassy, dried, wheatsheaf cereals], porridge paste, some putty, Caramac… more vanilla now with a herbal/floral touch,.. ozone-vanillin. Happy, let’s move on. T: This aged barley spirit with some weight, develops gracefully. Admittedly. it’s a little dry in the middle but more buttery [mouthfeel] into the finish. It requires careful water management. F: Overall it’s still humming from that weighty development, with buttery husky=chocolate < cocoa that then goes back to its cereal roots. Finishes a little dry with more ex-bourbon oak-driven vanilla. C: A good whisky that seems to demonstrates that age and a higher abv does matter!

I'm glad it's just a rehearsal. If I had to drink the entire bottle ...
Sweet and estery on the nose. Round, warm and spicy on the palate. Spicy, medium on the finish. Not bad with some fenegriek cheese.

| Нос | 78 | sweet, malty and cereal, alcoholic, spicy and rough, in the background some hints of fruity spiciness and maybe some resin |
| Вкус | 79 | light and spicy, sweet, malty-cereal with strong influence of chilli, caramel, with time oak and some spice |
| Финиш | 76 | a lot of oak and chilli, smooth and bold, medium long |
Very good for this series, a pleasant, light and varied aroma, the taste / finish is surprisingly dense and saturated for such a young and weak whisky.
Nose: Sweet sour, grassy, marzipan. Hay and wood shavings. Feels a bit young on the nose. Taste: Sweet, again marzipan. Wood sap. Youngish. Not very active casks. Body: Silky, but not really oily Finish: Medium. Again the wood sap. Some raw wood as well. A bit sweet and again a hint of marzipan. Price: Don't pay more then €50,-. Everything else is speculation. Presentation Sober and decent as all F&F

This is a nice light, pleasant malt. Not stellar but eminently drinkable.
A good solid dry malt.

has a sauté note for me - could be a very dry sherry keg I find him a bit weak and immature for his price - blindly I would classify him in the 30 € class.
Light and fruity. Cereals, bready, vanilla all on the light side. Oak predominant with distillate forward alcohol. Slight citrus, honey finish.

Although the palate reveals it's youth, this is a solid dram. It's creamy, a little fruity and in the finish also spicy. A nice combination of youth and wood.
Nose: Cream, butter, butterscotch, malts, honeycomb candy, toffee, ripe banana. Body: medium thick, bit young, sweet, smooth, but also a bitter. Finish: spices, dry, some sweetness than a grapefruit & spices bitter with salty licorice. Delightful. Nose is the star. The somewhat bitter finish the weaker part.

Aroma : floral and honey-waxy resinous Palate : quince, parafin, white apples Development and finish : perfumee and does not have anything to be added as a +, which is partially understandable due to the age, abv and filtration
