Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
노즈에서는 말린 무화과와 건포도, 오렌지 마멀레이드 향이 가장 먼저 두드러진다. 1974년 증류된 글렌파클라스 패밀리 캐스크답게 깊은 셰리 숙성의 어두운 과일 향이 노즈를 가득 채운다. 60.8도의 높은 도수가 입안을 두껍게 감싸며 다크초콜릿과 가죽, 정향의 풍미가 또렷하게 이어진다. 32년 장기 숙성에서 오는 오크 탄닌이 중반의 구조를 단단하게 잡는다. 피니시는 쌉쌀한 코코아와 말린 과일이 길게 발전한다. 글렌파클라스의 셰리 캐스크 전통을 진하게 담은 한 잔이다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
of course it’s not as complex as the old 21 yo but it’s far from seeming ridiculous next to it. It’s very grassy at first nosing (no sherry it seems) and quite resinous, with notes of moss and mushrooms, newly cut grass, sorrel… then it’s the wood that speaks, with quite some vanilla and a little varnish, milk chocolate, milk, quinces and a little rubber (a nice one). Quite ‘natural’ and certainly powerful
restaurant Palate
the nose was very nice, the palate is excellent. It all starts on candied lemons and pineapples as well as orange drops and develops more towards honey-filled beeswax (the beekeeper’s chewing-gum), with a very interesting mint and lots of quince jelly. Goes on with a little vanilla fudge, light toffee and lavender sweets, with even notes of Turkish delights. Excellent compactness altogether
timer Finish
long, orangey, mainly on vanilla sugar and barley sugar. A little ‘thickness’ on your tongue. In short, an unusual totally unsherried Glenfarclas (it seems) that really delivers. 90 points . Glenfarclas 1974/2007 (60.8%, OB, Family Casks, butt, cask #2578, 555 bottles)
