Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
스페이사이드 벤 리니스 산 기슭의 차가운 공기와 미네랄 풍부한 물이 글렌파클라스 1968의 결을 빚어낸다. 짙은 적갈색 너머로 건포도와 무화과, 가죽과 다크 초콜릿의 향이 또렷이 드러난다. 41년 셰리 숙성이 만든 진한 단맛이 묵직하게 입을 채우고, 51도 알코올은 호두 껍질과 흑설탕의 풍미를 깊게 풀어낸다. 패밀리 캐스크의 시간감이 길게 머문다.
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
