Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
아일라 서쪽 로크 인달을 마주한 브룩라디가 보르도 오브리옹 와인 캐스크로 마무리한 16년, 더 식스틴스 시리즈다. 46도로 병입한 이 위스키는 잔에 짙은 적갈빛을 띤다. 토탄을 쓰지 않는 증류소답게 매캐함 대신 레드 와인이 준 프룬과 초콜릿, 잘 익은 자두의 향이 깊게 오른다. 입에서는 다크 초콜릿에 감싼 말린 과일과 와인 소스, 커피의 풍미가 두꺼운 질감으로 흐른다. 여운은 짙고 무거우면서도 매끄럽게 길게 이어진다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
mahogany/coffee
air Nose
full classic deep oloroso, in that sense very different from all former three. Chocolate, wine sauce, prunes, fresh parsley and lovage, coffee-schnapps (like when you just poured a few drops –right, spoonfuls- of Mirabellenbrand into your espresso – our German speaking friends will see what I mean – psst, we make the best ones in Elsass). This seems to be thick, let’s see what gives on the palate
restaurant Palate
it’s rather hard to imagine a thicker and darker whisky but most funnily, it’s not exempt of a certain ‘playfulness’. But frankly, not even chocolate-coated dried fruits taste as much as chocolate-coated dried fruits as this Glenfarclas. You’ll almost need a (silver)spoon!
timer Finish
as long and thick and heavy but smooth as you would imagine
