Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
황금빛이 잔 안쪽에서 깊이 머무는 결을 드러낸다. 글렌피딕 38년 얼티밋은 스페이사이드 명가의 노련한 시간을 담고 있다. 코에는 잘 익은 배와 흰 꽃, 꿀에 절인 살구가 또렷이 깃들어 있다. 입에서는 40도의 절제된 도수가 부드러운 견과와 마른 무화과, 옅은 시나몬을 가볍게 받쳐준다. 삼십팔 년이라는 시간의 무게가 거칠게 드러나지 않으며 마른 허브와 옅은 오크가 길게 머문다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
well, this is rum and it could certainly not be anything else, and certainly not wine brandy. Starts extremely aromatic, on ultra-huge notes of sugar cane and fantastic herbal notes (dill, Colombo spices), then fabulous woods (red cedar and sandal plus the same hints of thuja as in the Armagnac), then quite some incense, then ripe plums, then puréed black olives (what we call tapenade here in France)… What a stuning nose! Endless development on all things woody and spicy – absolutely terrific spirit. And these wonderful ‘rancid’ notes that one can find in old rums
restaurant Palate
punchy and majestic – and certainly not overly woody this time. Beautiful notes of Corinth raisins, sugar cane of course, bitter oranges and very ripe bananas, then all kinds of spirits such as date or fig from the middle-east, then fir honeydew, then rum-soaked (obviously) sultanas, then a little ginger, turmeric and cardamom… And more oranges, more cane sugar syrup, crystallised pineapples… All that in a perfect oakiness, not dominating at all. But beware of rumoporn, better cut this here
timer Finish
rather long, wonderfully raisiny and orangey
