Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
노즈에서는 글렌피딕 19년 마데이라다운 잘 익은 과수원 과일 위로 마데이라 캐스크가 더한 건포도와 호두, 옅은 캐러멜 향이 명확하게 드러난다. 입에서는 40도의 부드러운 도수가 마른 무화과와 토피, 오렌지 마멀레이드를 매끄럽게 밀어낸다. 마데이라의 단맛이 스파이사이드의 과실과 균형을 단정하게 잡는다. 피니시는 마른 과일과 옅은 향신료가 잔잔히 이어진다. 에이지 오브 디스커버리의 원숙한 한 잔이다.
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)
