Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
깊은 다크 골드빛이 잔 속에 진하게 고인다. 셰리 캐스크로 이름난 스페이사이드 글렌파클라스답게 체리 리큐어와 황금빛 건포도, 캐러멜 오렌지의 향이 겹겹이 올라오고 가죽과 볶은 몰트의 결이 뒤를 받친다. 17년을 보낸 43도의 원액은 낮은 도수에도 거친 힘을 품어 오렌지 껍질과 볶은 견과, 초콜릿의 단맛이 단단하게 번진다. 여운은 몰트와 초콜릿의 쌉쌀함이 길게 이어진다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
dark gold
air Nose
what strikes me first is a combination of cherry liqueur (guignolet) with drops of pastis, juicy golden raisins (not the dry black ones!) and many herbal teas such as chamomile and rosemary. Then it’s rather caramelised oranges, drops of Pimm’s No. 1, leather and more and more roasted malt and chocolate. It’s pretty complex and aromatic
restaurant Palate
starts very malty, with good body and even a certain roughness. A grassy side, orange zests, quite some oak, more malt, some roasted nuts, some chocolate, chestnuts, apple tart… It’s very robust malt whisky despite a relatively low strength, I find it rather rawer than its siblings in the range
timer Finish
long, very malt and chocolaty. Slightly bitter aftertaste
