Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
노즈에서는 버진 오크에서 온 연필심과 새 목재 뒤로 조린 사과와 바닐라 향이 명확하게 드러난다. 솔레라 배트에서 15년을 채운 이 글렌피딕 캐스크 스트렝스는 59도에서 미네랄과 오크 스파이스가 단단하게 발전한다. 팰럿에서는 진한 바닐라와 메이플 시럽, 생강이 힘 있게 입을 채운다. 피니시는 오크의 향신료가 주도하며 길게 이어져, 신 오크의 강한 개성이 구조를 지배한다.

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
