Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
it’s starts all on old bourbon, varnish and vanilla. Freshly sawn oak? Gets then grassier and liquoricy, with hints of ham. It’s actually quite complex old whisky, with also probably more oomph than most old OB’s. Nice hints of mint. It looses balance after a while, getting heavily oaky (and the ham got bolder too)
restaurant Palate
a bold mouth full, starting dry, on dried grated coconut and quite some cinnamon. Then it’s the roasted coffee beans, then sultanas and finally a little salt from the cask
timer Finish
medium long (it lost power), toasted and on quite some bitter caramel. It’s a good dry Glenfiddich, an interesting alternative to the OB’s, not worn out at all but maybe lacking a little extra-charisma. 84 points. Glenfiddich 1982 ‘Private Vintage’ (58.7%, OB for the Craigellachie Hotel, cask #3672)
