Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
유러피언과 아메리칸 오크에서 숙성한 뒤 엑스버번 캐스크에서 마무리한 이 글렌피딕 밀레니엄 빈티지는 우드의 결이 산뜻하게 배어 있다. 캐스크의 흔적이 새파란 풋사과와 배, 멜론 껍질과 버터 크루아상의 향으로 맑게 열린다. 40도의 가벼운 몸집이 혀 위를 상큼하게 지나며 옅은 산미와 함께 잘 익은 사과, 쇼트브레드의 풍미를 편다. 길지는 않지만 깔끔한 페퍼민트의 여운이 정갈하게 잦아든다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
maltier and greener than expected, with sharp wee green apples all over the place—utterly unmistakable. Then come the expected pears, melon rind, buttery croissants (mais bien sûr), and a touch of freshly cut grass. Hints of young oak and a whisper of liquorice wood flicker in the background. All very pleasant, really, with a rather charming Proustian quality about it
restaurant Palate
yes, fresh again, with a delightful wee acidity, rather fine light oak, and once more those just-under-ripe apples and pears. These add a welcome brightness, lifting the whole and keeping any sluggishness well at bay. A dainty shard of shortbread too
timer Finish
not exactly the longest of finishes, but in this case the modest 40% vol. isn’t too much of a handicap. A few zesty notes help bridge the gap left by the missing watts. Some clean peppermint in the aftertaste
