Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
스페이사이드 더프타운의 온화한 기후가 길러낸 글렌피딕을 방문자 센터에서 손으로 병입한 캐스크 스트렝스다. 셰리와 버번, 뉴 오크가 어우러진 솔레라 특유의 짙은 황금빛 아래 향은 오래된 버번과 바닐라, 갓 켠 참나무와 상쾌한 민트가 얽힌다. 58.4도의 입은 건조하게 열려 구운 코코넛과 계피, 볶은 커피콩과 건포도가 또렷하게 드러난다. 여운은 토스트한 오크와 쌉쌀한 캐러멜, 은은한 박하를 남기며 힘 있게 마무리된다.
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)
