Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
스페이강이 흐르는 온화한 스페이사이드에서, 글렌피딕은 셰리와 버번, 새 오크를 솔레라 배트에 겹겹이 채워 원액을 다스린다. 방문자 센터에서 손으로 병입한 15년 캐스크 스트렝스는 58.9도답게 여느 오피셜보다 힘이 세다. 오래된 버번의 바닐라와 갓 켠 참나무, 옅은 박하 향이 복잡하게 얽혀 오른다. 입안은 마른 코코넛과 계피로 건조하게 시작해 볶은 커피와 건포도로 이어진다. 여운은 구운 나무와 씁쓸한 캐러멜로 길게 남는다.
AITasting 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)
