Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
노즈에서는 글렌피딕 38년 얼티밋이 38년이라는 오랜 숙성을 거친 부드러운 사과와 배의 캐릭터가 가장 먼저 두드러진다. 40도의 절제된 도수가 캐스크의 영향을 부드럽게 풀어 준다. 디스틸러리 보틀링답게 글렌피딕 특유의 우아함이 명확하게 드러난다. 한 모금 머금으면 들꽃 꿀과 노란 과일, 가벼운 바닐라가 부드럽게 입을 채운다. 피니시는 부드러운 단맛과 묵은 오크의 광택이 길게 이어진다. 스페이사이드 노장의 절제된 미감이 또렷이 깃든다.
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
