Glenfiddich Vintage Cask

This is no Glenfiddich. This is Talisker Skye. Bottled at 40%abv, with a deep copper color. On the nose it is Talisker Skye. On the palate is Talisker Skye. Lol Really, i love talisker skye and i can recognize it in a blind taste. And this Glenfiddich Vintage reserve cask, was the expensiest of 3 new "reserve cask" series for the travel retail market, and has no trace of a Glenfiddich or a Speyside whatsoever. On the nose all those Island aromas: Salt, Smoke, peat, burnt rubber and seaweed. On the palate: salt, rubber, burnt meat, cough syrup, with a nedium finish. Full bodied. Overall it is a great talisker skye, but talisker skye cost half the price, so pick that one up, since it is the same thing. 89/100

The peated smell, a taste that comes from the ground, is very intense, giving a sense of austerity. It also brings some senses of familiar and closeness. Then ruffled on the nose is a little bit smell of gasoline and menthol. Finish with the smoky faintness, plus the salty taste of sweat. Smell of herbal and vanilla aroma when exhalating.

Interesting attempt at a peated whiskey by Glenfiddich.. first i've had from them. To be honest I didn't even notice the peat it just tasted odd muddled off oak with vanilla, then i read the profile and thought oh yeah makes sense. It almost results in a dram that tastes like a dram it's been open to long. Not great but not bad.

Cor: ouro Oleoso Aroma: peaty Salgado, suave, doce Início: pouco picante, muito agradável Sabor: perde o peaty. Começa com salgado leve, passa pra doce e tem um gosto final amargo. Difícil identificar um sabor predominante. Como é "ralo", fica entre o suave e a falta de personalidade; mas é muito fácil de beber e bom 88 M 87 G

Slightly peaty, full in the nostrils and light on the palate. Very good. _____________________________________________________________________ Leggermente torbato, pieno nelle narici e leggero al palato. Molto buono.

Really smoky on the nose, nothing else. Surprisingly fruity in the mid palate, touch of sweetness. Immediately back to a ton of peat smoke on the finish, and it lingers.
