Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
레드 와인 캐스크 피니시를 거친 19년 숙성이 글렌피딕에 붉은 과실의 결을 입혔다. 코끝에는 잘 익은 딸기와 자두, 가벼운 향신료 향이 부드럽게 올라온다. 40도의 도수 속에서 붉은 베리와 꿀, 둥근 타닌이 매끄럽게 입을 채운다. 세계에서 사랑받는 글렌피딕답게 깔끔한 과실미가 와인의 결을 부드럽게 감싼다. 은은한 루비빛 끝에 베리 단맛과 마른 향신료가 길게 이어진다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
hey, but this is nice! Aromatic but not extravagantly so, rather rich, slightly vinous but with good balance, rather less dry than other Madeira-ed whiskies that I could try until today and a little more towards sherry (PX or cream). Sultanas, a little strawberry jam, marmalade, figs, then a little more tea (earl grey) and just touches of humus/mushrooms… All that on a bed of vanilla that I’d rather have expected from bourbon wood. Or was it first fill American oak Madeira wood? Anyway, a nice, rather rich nose, very nicely composed and a bit ‘un-Glenfiddich’ because of the richness. Ha, variety!
restaurant Palate
well, the attack is quite superb but there’s almost no middle. Maybe we’re not used to 40% vol. anymore? It had started on beautiful notes of candied oranges, mulled wine and touches of cloves and cinnamon, but it really nosedived after fifteen seconds, leaving only a thin sweetish gingery coating and a little fudge. A one-song gig (but the song’s great)
timer Finish
obviously short, with only a few sweet and spicy touches (crystallised ginger)
