Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔에 잠긴 짙은 호박빛이 1976년에 증류된 글렌피딕 원액이 31년을 견딘 시간을 그대로 드러낸다. 노즈에는 잘 익은 배와 마른 무화과, 옅은 시나몬 향이 또렷이 깃들어 있다. 입에서는 토피와 호두 껍질, 가벼운 후추가 두꺼운 질감으로 흐르고 51.9도의 알코올이 단정한 골격을 받친다. 스페이사이드 글렌피딕의 싱글 캐스크 보틀링답게 마지막까지 묵직한 단맛이 길게 이어진다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
somewhere between salmon and apricot
air Nose
the wine’s influence makes itself known straight away, with vineyard peaches, upmarket sangria (but of course), blackcurrant jelly and blackberry jam, all neatly draped over a tray of pastries, scones, blueberry muffins and the like. Gentle touches of liquorice and mint lend a civilised air to the whole. It’s very much a winesky, but one of the haute-couture kind on the nose, no doubt. But when, oh when, will the invasion of red fruits in malt whisky finally come to an end?
restaurant Palate
here we drift a little closer to the malt again, with blood oranges, a touch of gunpowder (presumably from a bit of S******, quite unobtrusive), reminiscent of many an ex-sherry. Then come cherry pie with honey, pepper, cinnamon, and something frankly akin to mulled wine, with brown sugar, star anise, cloves, and more cinnamon
timer Finish
rounded and pâtissier, with a surprising rum-raisin and old ratafia character in the afterglow
