Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 천천히 돌리면 1968년의 오랜 세월이 빚은 짙은 적갈색이 유리에 깊게 감긴다. 코를 가져가면 글렌파클라스다운 건포도와 무화과, 구운 견과의 향이 깊게 올라온다. 한 모금 머금으면 36년 셰리 숙성이 다듬은 진한 과실미가 50.1도의 힘으로 혀를 감싼다. 삼키고 나면 다크초콜릿과 가죽, 향신료의 여운이 입안에 깊게 머물며 오랜 시간을 길게 풀어놓는다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
amber
air Nose
very winey right from the start. Ripe strawberries and pepper, redcurrant, banana flambéed. Develops on dark chocolate, gianduja, chocolate truffles. Lots of sherry, but a very nice one, which is far from making this Farclie dull. Nice hints of fresh mint and balsamic vinegar. Very, very nice if not overly subtle
restaurant Palate
very punchy but not as bold as expected. Lots of wood (pepper) and some slightly sour notes, together with some cold coffee, meat sauce, black toffee… I was waiting for something a little creamier and sweeter, I must say. It even gets a little bitter and drying, but it’s easily bearable. Develops on some heavy notes of wine sauce, wine reduction, lees… Well, it gets a little difficult for me now, quite pungent and even a little acidic. Okay, it’s an extreme sherry monster on the palate, not exactly my taste, I must say. Ah, yes, a rating… let’s say 84 points .
