Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 천천히 돌리면 42년을 보낸 술이 짙은 마호가니빛으로 잔 안에 잠긴다. 코를 가져가면 셰리 호그스헤드가 빚은 말린 무화과와 흑설탕, 오래된 가죽의 향이 풍성하게 올라온다. 한 모금 머금으면 1959년 빈티지가 응축한 농익은 건포도와 다크초콜릿, 가벼운 정향이 혀를 감싼다. 천천히 삼키면 깊은 셰리의 단맛과 나무의 풍미가 입천장에 오래 머문다.
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
