Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
1953년 원액을 퍼스트필 셰리 버트에 담아 58년을 재운 시간은 그 자체로 하나의 역사다. 잔에서는 오래 묵은 가죽과 말린 무화과, 호두 기름, 낡은 도서관 같은 향이 층층이 풀려나온다. 입에서는 진한 셰리 단맛과 다크초콜릿이 43.9도의 낮은 도수에도 빽빽하게 입을 채운다. 반세기를 넘긴 글렌파클라스답게 타닌은 둥글고 무게는 깊다. 어두운 마호가니빛 끝에서 여운은 묵은 향신료와 흙내음으로 끝없이 이어진다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
full gold
air Nose
it's very close to the 1953 cask #1674 for Wealth Solutions, only a notch oakier and a little more aromatic as well, which makes them even. Sort of. Quite a lot of leather and tobacco, then overripe tropical fruits (mangos) and some mentholated oak extracts. The bacon's also louder than in the sister cask and then some whiffs of damp earth do arise. What's impressive is the freshness and the fact that in no way it's simply a sherry bomb
restaurant Palate
almost identical (I'm comparing it with cask #1674 as we speak). A lot of oak spices, tangerines, a little vin jaune (right-o, dry sherry), smoked ham and Virginia tobacco. It feels old and impressively fresh at the same time, which is quite a miracle although, as almost always at this age, the nose was more entrancing and, say vibrant
timer Finish
pretty long and with a grassiness from the old oak
