Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
노즈에서는 글렌피딕 특유의 잘 익은 사과와 짙은 꿀, 옅은 가죽 노트가 가장 먼저 두드러진다. 2013년 릴리스 No. 9으로 병입된 40년 숙성이 팰럿에서 또렷이 드러나는데 진한 토피와 농축된 다크 베리, 가벼운 시나몬이 41.7도의 부드러운 알코올과 단단한 구조감으로 발전한다. 피니시에는 따뜻한 모카와 옅은 백후추가 길게 이어진다. 솔레라 시스템으로 다듬은 글렌피딕 40년의 노쇠된 우아함이 또렷이 드러나는 한 잔이다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
deep gold
air Nose
a whole basket of fresh fruits, both tropical ones and western ‘orchardy’ ones, with drops of mint and olive oils as well as a little thuja wood from the oak (don’t ask). Mangos, apples, peaches, guavas… Also some polished wood, I would imagine the dashboard of a brand new Rolls-Royce (sure, Serge, sure…), then more aromatic herbs, vetiver, wormwood, dill, fennel… And lastly, touches of old vin jaune or fino sherry. I found a cognacqy side in earlier expressions, and that’s what I’m finding again in this one
restaurant Palate
first, balance was found. Second, the oak remains un-drying. And third, all the fruits are back, from mangos to apples and apricots. There’s a lightness that’s not light at all, if you see what I mean, and really a lot of elegance. No big mouth feel though, but this baby’s got a talent for repartee, so to speak. Responsive
timer Finish
surprisingly long, very fruity, just with more polished wood again. Cough lozenges
