Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
어두운 적갈색이 잔에 또렷이 비친다. 1959년에 증류돼 셰리 호그스헤드에서 42년을 보낸 글렌파클라스가 시간의 가장 깊은 무게를 잔 안에 풀어낸다. 향에는 말린 무화과와 호두 껍질, 오래된 가죽이 또렷이 깃들어 있다. 머금으면 검은 설탕과 자두 콩포트, 약한 발사믹이 두꺼운 질감으로 입천장을 덮고 46도의 도수가 옛 패밀리 셰리의 굵은 결을 길게 풀어낸다.
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
