Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
셰리, 버번, 뉴 오크 세 종류의 캐스크가 솔레라 배트 안에서 15년을 함께 보낸 시간이 글렌피딕의 풍미를 단단하게 묶어낸다. 다양한 우드의 영향이 향에서 동시에 떠오르는데 들꿀, 잘 익은 사과, 옅은 시나몬이 또렷이 깃들어 있다. 58.7도의 입은 흑설탕과 바닐라 카스타드, 마른 오렌지 껍질로 풀바디로 흐른다. 깊은 황금빛이 잔에 머물고 여운은 가루 향신료로 길게 이어진다.
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)
