Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
셰리 캐스크에서 21년을 보낸 시간이, 스페이사이드 명가 글렌피딕에서 비롯된 이 1997년 보틀링에 깊이를 더했다. 코에서는 잘 익은 사과와 건포도, 옅은 향신료가 조화롭게 피어오른다. 입에서는 47.7도의 편안한 도수 위로 꿀과 마른 과일, 오크 스파이스가 둥글게 어우러진다. 색은 짙은 황금빛이고, 여운은 곡물 단맛과 셰리의 결이 부드럽게 이어진다.
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
