Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
노즈에서는 셰리 호그스헤드가 빚어낸 짙은 건포도와 다크 베리, 묵직한 가죽 노트가 가장 먼저 두드러진다. 1959년 빈티지 글렌파클라스가 셰리 호그스헤드에서 42년을 보내며 응축한 시간이 팰럿에서 또렷이 드러나는데 진한 토피와 농축된 무화과, 가벼운 시나몬이 46도의 부드러운 알코올과 단단한 구조감으로 발전한다. 피니시에는 따뜻한 모카와 옅은 백후추가 길게 이어진다. 히스토릭 리저브 N°1이 응결시킨 글렌파클라스 정수가 또렷이 드러난다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
bold, complex, starting more on sea elements than on medicinal notes. Really ‘a walk on the shore of the Atlantic’ as they say, with lots of kelp, sea water, shells… Then it’s more on mint, camphor and eucalyptus and finally on iodine, bandages and embrocations. Everything is slightly mellower than usual but perfectly integrated even if it comes in layers
restaurant Palate
the attack is quite lemony, vibrant (green apples, kiwis) and then it’s really classic old Ardbeg, with a rather bold smokiness, marzipan, roots, cough syrup and finally a pinch of salt
timer Finish
long, maybe a tad drying now but still ample and majestic. Top notch again as expected. 93 points . MUSIC – Recommended listening (JAZZ): why not a little Ornette Coleman today? I know some readers who'll be very happy to listen to Science fiction.mp3 ... (and some who won't). But please buy Mr Coleman's 'seminal' music (right, right...) July 12, 2007 TASTING – A FEW OLD GLENFARCLAS Glenfarclas 1959/2002 ‘Christmas Day’ (46%, OB, 96 bottles) This one was distilled on December 25, 1959 (no day off at Glenfarclas?) and the bottle is fellow maniac Luc’s one at the Quaich Bar, Craigellachie. Probably one of the best they have there
