Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
오랜 세월이 응축된 붉은 호박빛이 잔에 깊이 어린다. 스페이사이드 글렌파클라스가 1968년부터 무려 46년을 셰리 호그스헤드에서 보낸 시간의 결정이다. 요오드와 열대 과일, 온갖 꿀과 결정화된 귤의 향이 호두와 담뱃잎의 셰리로 이어진다. 입안에서는 카시스와 무화과의 잼 같은 단맛이 흐르고 육두구와 삼나무의 결이 겹친다. 43.1도의 여운은 커피와 건포도, 오래된 브랜디의 결로 깊고 길게 남는다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
reddish amber
air Nose
I understand why this baby's got a reputation, as you would almost believe it is Laphroaig. Seriously! Bandages, tiger balm, iodine, seawater, lemon balm, stewed mangos and papayas... But naturally, it would then diverge and move towards 'that beehive', honeys of all origins, sweet meats, apple and quince pies, raisins and crystallised tangerines… all that before a wonderful sherry, full of walnuts and tobacco, would come to the front. Rather extraordinary and you wouldn't even notice the lower strength
restaurant Palate
a notch drying at first (walnut stain, chocolate), but soon to become wonderfully jammy, given that all fruits used were pretty tannic, such as cassis, blackberries, wee apples, pomegranates… Other than that, we have classic fruitcake, raisins, figs, plus spices from the oak (nutmeg and cinnamon) and a touch of cedarwood. Really starts to resemble that other famous Distillery in Speyside, the one that starts with an M; yes I know there are several of them
timer Finish
pretty long, more on coffee and raisins, and with prunes and old brandy in the aftertaste
