Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
짙은 황금빛이 잔 안에서 따뜻하게 빛난다. 코를 가까이 하면 솔레라 배트가 어우러낸 꿀과 잘 익은 배의 향이 먼저 솟고 셰리에서 온 가벼운 건과일이 뒤따른다. 입에 머금으면 셰리와 버번 그리고 새 오크가 겹쳐 낸 단맛이 혀를 둥글게 채우고 58.6도의 힘이 또렷한 향신료를 밀어 올린다. 증류소에서 직접 손으로 병입한 이 15년 글렌피딕은 캐스크 스트렝스다운 단단한 구조를 보여준다. 여운은 오크 향신료와 꿀로 따뜻하게 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)
