Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 흔든 뒤 코끝으로 가져가면 쿠바산 럼 캐스크가 더한 잘 익은 바나나와 흑설탕 향이 먼저 솟아오른다. 코를 더 묻으면 글렌피딕 21년 특유의 잘 익은 배와 바닐라, 토피가 럼의 단맛 사이로 드러난다. 한 모금 머금으면 부드러운 질감 위로 캐러멜과 무화과, 옅은 향신료가 번진다. 43도로 둥글게 삼킨 뒤에도 달콤한 럼과 잘 익은 과일이 혀끝에 천천히 머문다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
pale gold
air Nose
a rather leathery and tobacco-like profile, fatter and drier than the Vintage’s, then some fruitier notes, between Jell-O, sweets, and sweet cider. Also tinned peaches, perhaps
restaurant Palate
some ODE for sure (Old Decanter Effect ;-)) and some smoke for sure, with a much fatter mouth feel than that of the Vintage, loads of green tea, and some earthy bitterness. It’s firm and almost big malt whisky, tenser than any current Glenfiddich, but it’s true that this is mid-1960s distillation, partly using, perhaps, some barley malted at Balvenie
timer Finish
rather long, a little creamier and certainly very ‘sweet-malty’. Hints of lemon and fresh rhubarb in the aftertaste
