한정 생산한 Glenfiddich 12 Toasted Oak Reserve를 2006년 크리스마스를 준비하여
2006년 10월 12일 부터 영국과 유럽시장을 대상으로 출시하였습니다.
American Bourbon Whiskey를 담았던 195 리터 (스카치 위스키 통 중에서 가장 작은 크기) 오크통을
수입하여, 통의 내부를 불로 그을린 후, 글렌피딕 몰트 위스키를 담아 12년을 숙성 시킨 후, 여러통의
위스키를 큰 통에서 섞어서 다시 통에 담아 3개월 동안의 매링 기간을 거친 후, 병에 담았습니다.
Tasting Notes
Dave Broom
Nose
Pine sap, aromatic woods, beech nut. In time a sweeter note of kumquat, then pan drop/minty sweets. Oak driven, but sweetly so.
Palate
Slightly thin after such an impressive nose. Plenty of wood and a touch of creme brulee.
Finish
Soft, pillow-like.
Comment
A bit of a let down after such a great nose. A very pretty whisky but higher alcohol might have given it better impact in the mouth. |
Arthur Motley
Nose
Satsuma segments, nail polish, apricot cream and papaya. Then a doughy, pumice-like element, that borders on soapy.
Palate
Sweet, with vanilla and almonds and a lightly bitter oakiness.
Finish
Pretty short, but a delicate US oakiness.
Comment
A pretty nose but fairly uneventful on the palate. Pleasant. |
Glenfiddich is launching a limited edition Glenfiddich Toasted Oak Reserve 12 Year Old
across the UK for Christmas.
Distributed by First Drinks Brands, the new product is another variant to be added to the
extensive Glenfiddich single malt range.
The whisky was created using hand-selected casks whose toasted interior had released a
distinct amount of vanillin from the wood leading to a rich, gently spiced, sweet vanilla
aroma from the whisky.
The 195-litre barrels, which had been used to mature American whiskey before being
shipped to Scotland and filled with Glenfiddich, are the smallest standard casks used to
store Scotch whisky.
After the contents of the casks were vatted together, the single malt was refilled into
casks for a three-month marrying period to ensure consistency throughout the small
batch production prior to bottling.
Glenfiddich malt master David Stewart said: “In recent years, we have come a long way
in understanding the impact wood has on the final flavour of maturing spirit.
Glenfiddich Toasted Oak Reserve reflects this knowledge as only casks that give the
perfect vanilla and oak flavour to the spirit have been selected for this bottling.”
The range of single malt scotch whiskies includes the Glenfiddich Special Reserve 12 Year
Old, Glenfiddich Solera Reserve 15 Year Old, Glenfiddich Ancient Reserve 18 Year Old,
Glenfiddich Gran Reserva 21 Year Old, Glenfiddich 30 Year Old and a number of rare whiskies
and limited editions.
