Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
셰리 캐스크가 31년에 걸쳐 새긴 깊은 흔적이 가장 먼저 코를 사로잡는다. Glenfiddich가 1976년 빈티지를 Vintage Reserve로 51.9도 캐스크 스트렝스에 자체 병입한 보틀이다. 향에서는 농축된 무화과와 다크 초콜릿, 흑설탕이 또렷이 드러난다. 입안에서는 자두 잼과 호두 오일, 빽빽한 셰리 단맛이 묵직하게 입을 채운다. 짙은 마호가니빛 잔의 끝에는 70년대 셰리의 산화된 단맛과 가죽이 길게 머문다.
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
