Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
마호가니에 가까운 짙은 커피빛이 잔을 가득 메운다. 샤토 디켐 소테른 캐스크가 남긴 흔적 위로 브뤼클라디 16년 퀴베 E는 초콜릿과 말린 자두, 와인 소스 같은 깊은 향을 겹겹이 드러낸다. 46도의 부드러운 도수 아래 입안에서는 초콜릿을 입힌 말린 과일의 진한 단맛이 묵직하게 입을 채우며 은근한 장난기마저 감돈다. 스페이사이드가 아닌 아일라의 원액이 소테른의 달큰함을 두른 대비가 흥미롭다. 여운은 길고 두꺼우면서도 매끄럽게 가라앉아 오래 머문다.
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
