Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
더프타운의 글렌피딕은 사슴 계곡이라는 이름처럼 풍요로운 스페이사이드 골짜기에서 세계적 명성을 쌓은 증류소다. 오크 캐스크 숙성에 잔은 옅은 금빛을 띤다. 1979년 빈티지 12년 숙성이지만 58.6도의 도수가 청사과와 배, 보리 향을 강하게 밀어 올린다. 입에서는 과일 단맛과 바닐라, 흰 후추가 풀바디로 입을 채운다. 여운은 길고 산뜻하며 과일 향이 또렷이 깃들어 있다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
buttery white wine
air Nose
wooft, petrolic, greasy, mineral and very grassy. An extremely naked style of Glenfiddich that reminds you this is a direct fired spirit after all with these big, chunky and raw distillate vibes. Could almost be an early Manager's Dram, it has this kind of powerful, high-octane refill profile. Lots of barley extract, vapour rubs, wee mechanical touches, oily rags and mineral oils. I really like this so far. With water: wonderful now with water, kumquats, bergamots, lanolin, pastry dough, hessian, eucalyptus tea. Extremely aromatic and increasingly mentholated
restaurant Palate
very firm, powerful and oily in texture. Barbour grease, embrocations, sheep wool oils, extra virgin olive oil, mineral oils, camphor and linseed oil. Did I mention oil? Also sunflower seeds, toasted brown bread and further green notes such as parsley and nettles. There is in fact a kind of austere Loire Sauvignon vibe about it. With water: I don't think it's as impressive as the nose. It's certainly very crisp, taut and austere, showing quite a lot of grass, vase water, subtle medicinal qualities and things like acid drops, crushed aspirin and wet moss. A really unusual Glenfiddich
timer Finish
good length, very chiselled, crisp, mineral, cereal, chalky and with wee hints of citrus piths and white flowers
