Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
노즈에서는 1965년산 글렌파클라스 패밀리 캐스크의 셰리 버트가 빚어낸 건자두와 발사믹, 가죽 향이 강하게 두드러진다. 41년 숙성이 만든 고전적 셰리 캐릭터가 명확하게 드러난다. 팰럿은 60도 캐스크 스트렝스에서 흑설탕과 시가, 호두 오일의 균형이 단단하다. 가수로 풀어내면 무화과 잼과 다크 카카오가 발전한다. 피니시는 가죽과 마호가니, 흑체리가 길게 이어진다. 글렌파클라스 영빈티지의 정점이 또렷이 깃들어 있다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
full gold with bronze hues
air Nose
not extremely different from the 1983. Very powerful, quite spirity, nutty and as grassy as the 1983. Very nice notes of cold cuts and soy sauce in the background but the high alcohol does mask them a bit. Water needed: okay, that didn’t work that much, the whisky didn’t get any more complex, just more vanilled and caramelised, with also a little mint and a little pine resin. Excellent compactness and no single flaw whatsoever but this one is a little less entertaining than the 1983 I think
restaurant Palate
easier to ‘absorb’ than to nose when neat but the alcohol does dominate the whole – no wonder. Let’s reduce it right away… That worked better than with the nose even if again, it didn’t really get hugely complex. Rather waxy, candied, honeyed, fruity (dried oranges and quinces) and spicy (white pepper) but maybe a little drying, tannic… But the whole is very satisfying. Long finish on candy sugar and tea, again a little drying… Excellent whisky but maybe this one is more for people actually born in 1974 than for hardcore whisky fans. I liked the 1983 better. 86 points . Glenfarclas 1965/2007 (60%, OB, Family Casks, butt, cask #3861, 417 bottles) An amazing strength at 42 years old (no typo!)
