Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 손안에서 돌리면 맑은 황금빛이 잔벽을 미끄러져 흐른다. 코를 가까이 가져가면 글렌피딕 원액을 담은 번사이드다운 잘 익은 배와 사과, 그 위로 바닐라와 꿀의 향이 부드럽게 올라온다. 28년을 보낸 이 위스키를 한 모금 머금으면 47.6도가 매끄럽게 퍼지며 과수원 과일과 시리얼의 단맛이 혀를 감싼다. 천천히 삼키면 오래된 오크의 은은한 스파이스가 입안에 잔잔히 잠겨 있다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
pale gold
air Nose
you do indeed get the impression there was a fair mix of ages involved. There's quite a few varieties of honey, brioche, crystallised citrus peels, candied hazelnuts, plum eau de vie, straw and linens. I find it a very attractive and easy nose
restaurant Palate
the ABV works well here as I find so often with OB Glenfiddichs that the measly bottling strengths hurt them. Here's there's an oiliness to the mouthfeel with impressions of malt syrup, bergamot, lanolin and green apple peelings which all works very well. Some lemon cough drops, farmhouse cider and a few crunchy cereals. Indeed, it feels almost like a more rustic style of Glenfiddich. Mind you, what's more rustic than a collapsed warehouse roof?
timer Finish
medium and rather peppery, nicely sweet, more of these robust and toasty cereal notes and some citrons
