Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔에 깊은 황금빛이 천천히 흐른다. 1977년 글렌파클라스 4차 리필 호그스헤드에서 43년을 보낸 이 위스키는 약한 캐스크의 영향이 오랜 시간 동안 천천히 스며든 결과다. 향은 말린 사과와 옅은 바닐라, 오래된 책장의 가죽 노트가 또렷이 깃들어 있다. 43.1도의 부드러운 도수가 입천장을 천천히 덮으며 견과의 고소함과 흑설탕의 단맛을 풀어놓는다. 여운에는 마른 오크와 멜론의 잔향이 길게 머문다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
light gold;
air Nose
echoes of some older 'white label tall bottle' expressions, which is pretty good news. Especially this floral side (dandelions, acacia) mingled with many things almondy, such as, well, almonds but also plum spirits, apricot spirit, marzipan, small berries (sorb)… In truth it reminds me of my grandmother's mirabelle tarte, which she would have scattered with ground almonds because 'almonds would soak up the juice'. After five minutes, roasted peanuts and pecans would show up, together with sugarcane honey and maple syrup. After ten minutes, whiffs of old hessian and old wine cellar emerging. Old tools, old paint pot, old putty. It's a movie-malt, it keeps changing and telling you stories
restaurant Palate
the wonders of refill. There's quite some oak but it expresses itself through many infusions (rosehip, lime-flower), embrocations, the same kinds of almondy notes as on the nose… Then we have roasted and caramelised nuts as well as roasted raisins – I suppose the first fill version was a true sherry monster – and many honeys, plus some lighter tangerine liqueur and syrup. Zests
timer Finish
longer and fresher than expected, rather more honeyed, with a little mint. No straight tannicity whatsoever. Limoncello in the aftertaste
