Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
맑은 황금빛이 잔 안에서 따뜻하게 일렁인다. 글렌피딕 21년 그란 레세르바는 쿠바산 럼 캐스크에서 마무리되어 잘 익은 바나나와 토피, 바닐라의 달큰한 향이 부드럽게 피어오른다. 40도의 단정한 도수가 입안에서 럼이 더한 당밀과 열대 과일의 단맛을 매끄럽게 풀어내며 스페이사이드다운 우아한 결을 드러낸다. 21년의 숙성과 럼통의 마무리가 만나 둥근 균형을 이루고 여운에는 바닐라와 옅은 향신료가 길게 남는다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
Cuban rum is light, so I wouldn't swear I'm finding any obvious rumness in this one. Having said that it's a pleasant drop on the nose, light indeed but nicely fragrant, with some heather honey and some nectar, dandelion and other yellow flowers (always rich in sweet nectar). Perhaps a touch of orangey rum, after all. Nice
restaurant Palate
this time the 40% are problematic, they make the whisky thin and drying, with a tea-ish-ness that should have been avoided at 21 years of age. Cold tea, a touch of burnt caramel, some leafiness… Nosedives after just ten seconds, which is regrettable since the core seems to be pleasantly aromatic and well-composed. Nice marmalade and muscovado sugar
timer Finish
short. A shame, again, the core is nice. Notes of pink bananas, great bananas being a very Cuban thing indeed
