Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
스페이사이드 깊은 숲에서 자라난 글렌파클라스 1968은 41년이라는 시간을 그 자리에서 견뎌낸다. 잔에는 짙은 마호가니가 깊게 잠겨 있고 셰리 캐스크가 빚어낸 건자두와 무화과의 단맛이 압도적으로 일어난다. 51도의 무게로 다크 초콜릿과 가죽, 그리고 잘 마른 담뱃잎의 풍미가 입을 천천히 덮는다. 여운에는 오크의 탄닌과 진한 셰리의 단맛이 끝없이 이어진다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
deep gold
air Nose
toffee and dried fruits galore at first nosing, pretty much what one would expect from an old Glenfarclas. Dried figs and dates, Xmas cake, huge notes of pipe tobacco and liquorice, even a little wood smoke (maybe pine cone), the whole developing more towards a little rancio and big notes of walnuts, apple peelings and dry sherry, getting finally superbly dry and leathery. A classic!
restaurant Palate
the relatively low strength is no problem here, it’s rather big and powerful whisky. Starts very caramelised and rather coffeeish (sugared expresso), very malty as well, nutty, with the more and more notes of toasts, roasted nuts and fudge, getting finally drier once again. Also a little pepper and cloves. Amazingly lively and even vibrant at such old age, but a tad less complex than on the nose
timer Finish
long, malty, very roasted. Kalhua
