Flavor Profile
Tasting 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
