Tasting Notes

coffee

coffee. No, I’m joking, there’s much more than just coffee. Old Demerara rum, all raisins, all chocolates, all fruitcakes, and all crystallised fruits. Remember we were talking about Glenfarclas 105 when we tasted the 1999-2000? Well, there sure is a Glenfarclasness to this, but that would rather be a 1952 or a 1953. Much less smoky/mineral aromas than in other old sherried Karuis, and much more Speysidy roundness. Some pipe tobacco, prunes, and old armagnac. No wonder it’s for the French market (ooh that’s smart, S.!) With water: h.u.r.r.a.y. All earthy things come out, old cigars, clay, teas, roots, mushrooms, mosses… Fabtastic development once water’s been added
restaurant Palate
immense, huge, colossal. Invades you, conquers you, beats you. Imagine 60% old amontillado, 20% old PX, 10% super-ristretto Naples-style, and dried morels, tobacco, liquorice, salmiak… Well, anything black once again. Yes, even tar. With water: shhh…
timer Finish
shhh…
