Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 가볍게 돌리면 버번 호그스헤드 41년 숙성의 짙은 호박빛이 잔 벽을 미끄러지듯 따라간다. 잔을 코끝에 가져가면 글렌피딕 1973년 캐든헤드 싱글 캐스크답게 잘 익은 살구와 바닐라 콩이 가장 먼저 인사한다. 한 모금을 머금으면 43.1도의 둥근 보디가 야생 꿀과 코코넛 부스러기를 입천장에 미끄러뜨린다. 삼킨 뒤를 따라가면 옛 글렌피딕다운 광택 있는 곡물 단맛과 옅은 정향이 또렷이 깃들어 있다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
bizarre! It reminds me of Sweden’s Mackmyra. Not a bad thing! Or of an experience I did quite some years ago, redistilling mostly peated whisky and re-aging it in a small ex-wine cask. So this is rather going towards sloe and some kind of medicinal mouthwash instead of straight peat, but the global feeling tends to become nicer and nicer, despite whiffs of sour oak. Also the usual overripe apples. Intriguing, as they say. Smoked ham after five minutes
restaurant Palate
more straight peat! How did they do that? By simply finishing some Glenfiddich in ex-heavy-peater casks? It’s quite nice I have to say, reminding me of some peated Benriachs. Rather ashy. A feeling of smoked cider, then more vanilla-ed sweetness
timer Finish
rather short, but clean and ashy. This feeling of smoked cider again
