Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
글렌피딕 21년 그란 레세르바는 럼 캐스크 피니시가 남긴 흔적이 노즈에서 또렷하게 드러난다. 가죽과 담뱃잎의 마른 향이 먼저 두드러지고 젤리 같은 과일과 달큰한 사과주, 통조림 복숭아가 뒤따른다. 팰럿은 43.2도답게 부드러우면서도 옅은 스모크와 녹차, 흙 내음의 쌉쌀함이 단단한 구조를 이룬다. 피니시는 중간 길이로 크리미하고 달큰한 보리 향에 레몬과 루바브의 산뜻함이 남아 균형이 좋다.
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
