Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
방문자 센터에서 직접 병입된 글렌피딕 15년 캐스크 스트렝스로, 버진 오크가 준 연필 향과 새 나무판 뉘앙스가 노즈에서 두드러진다. 익힌 사과와 옥수수 시럽, 바닐라가 차례로 발전한다. 팰럿은 58.6도에서 새 오크의 진한 바닐라와 메이플 시럽이 리큐어에 가까울 만큼 달게 입을 채운다. 솔레라 배트다운 현대적이고 추출감 강한 골격이 중반부를 받친다. 피니시는 길게 이어지며 오크의 향신료가 남는다.

air Nose
not very Glenfiddich, rather bigger in fact, reminding me of the old 15 CS. There are whiffs of pencil shavings and new plank from the virgin oak but nothing too big, while it remains unusually mineral for a while, before some classic notes of stewed apples and Belgian beer start to rise after a few minutes. Hard to say if I like it or not thus far. With water: more corn syrup, more vanilla. As modern as Kraftwerk ;-)
restaurant Palate
the new oak speaks out even more. Heavy vanilla and maple syrup, you almost need as spoon to get it out of your glass. So ultra-modern, I’d say, hugely extractive and hyper-sweet, it’s almost liqueur. My palate sort of likes this but my brain doesn’t. Politics! With water: vanilla liqueur with touches of ginger and honey. Atholl Brose
timer Finish
long, with the oak’s spices being more in control
