Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
올로로소와 피노 셰리 호그스헤드가 41년에 걸쳐 켜켜이 새긴 깊은 흔적이 가장 먼저 코를 사로잡는다. Glenfarclas가 1968년 빈티지를 핸드라이튼 라벨로 49.7도에 자체 병입한 보틀이다. 향에서는 농축된 무화과와 다크 초콜릿, 호두 오일이 또렷이 드러난다. 입안에서는 자두 잼과 흑설탕, 약초의 미세한 쓴맛이 묵직하게 입을 채운다. 짙은 마호가니빛 잔의 끝에는 60년대 셰리의 산화된 단맛이 길게 머문다.
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 .
