Flavor Profile
Tasting 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)
