Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 가까이 하면 셰리 호그스헤드에서 비롯된 건포도와 오래된 목재, 가향 담배 향이 명확하게 드러난다. 글렌피딕 특유의 과일 캐릭터가 37년의 숙성과 함께 원숙하게 발전한다. 팰럿은 말린 과일과 다크초콜릿, 가죽이 58.7도의 강렬한 골격 위에 전개된다. 1964년 빈티지다운 옛 증류 방식의 깊이가 또렷이 드러난다. 피니시는 셰리와 오크의 여운이 매우 길게 이어진다.
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
