Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
셰리와 버번, 뉴 오크를 솔레라 배트에서 한데 섞은 숙성이 글렌피딕 15년 캐스크 스트렝스의 복합미를 완성한다. 여러 우드가 남긴 바닐라와 니스, 감초, 은은한 민트의 향이 겹겹이 열린다. 입에서는 마른 코코넛과 계피, 볶은 커피, 건포도가 진하게 번지고 58.4도의 힘이 두꺼운 골격을 세운다. 짙은 골드 컬러 잔 끝에 토스트와 쌉쌀한 캐러멜의 여운이 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)
