Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
40년의 세월이 빚어낸 깊은 황금빛이 잔 속에서 그윽한 윤기를 낸다. 코를 대면 망고와 사과, 복숭아 같은 열대와 과수원의 과일이 한 바구니 가득 피어오르고 잘 닦은 나무와 아로마 허브가 뒤따른다. 한 모금 머금으면 무겁지 않은 우아한 과실미가 매끄럽게 흐르며 옅은 피노 셰리의 결이 스친다. 글렌피딕 40년은 42.1도에서 오랜 시간이 빚은 균형과 기품을 보여 준다. 여운은 놀랍도록 길게 과일과 잘 닦은 나무가 이어진다.
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

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
