Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 가까이 하면 셰리 호그스헤드에서 46년을 보낸 글렌파클라스 1962의 진한 무화과 잼, 묵은 가죽, 정향 향이 명확하게 드러난다. 52도의 도수가 1962 빈티지의 시간 압축을 입체적으로 받친다. 팰럿은 다크 초콜릿, 호두, 마른 자두의 구조감이 입천장을 천천히 덮으며 균형이 단단하게 잡힌다. 패밀리 캐스크 릴리스 III답게 그랜트 가문의 셰리 캐스크 큐레이션이 또렷이 드러난다. 피니시는 길게 발전하며 산화된 셰리 캐스크의 쌉쌀함이 깊게 머문다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
mahogany, almost deep red
air Nose
a more powerful version of the 40 but no monster, probably more on old wood (aged cigar humidor), walnuts, dried meat (jerky) and blackcurrant jam. Globally a little more varnishy, in a good way. Quite superb I must say and it doesn’t seem to call for water so let’s pass, for once
restaurant Palate
superb attack, thick yet very nervous and flavourful, on spicy jams and fruit juices. Blackberries and plums/prunes. Goes on with funny touches of icing sugar and even lemon juice that go very well with this kind of profile. No rancio or leathery notes here, it’s all fresh and very lively. Quite some cinnamon after that but the general profile remains very appealing. Rich and a little heavy but appealing
timer Finish
very, very long, leaving many spices, some mint, some lemon marmalade and wee tannins on your palate
