Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
38년이라는 긴 시간이 응축된 진한 마호가니빛이 잔 안쪽으로 깊게 가라앉는다. 셰리의 명가 글렌파클라스답게 향에는 건포도와 무화과, 오래 끓인 흑설탕의 단내가 겹겹이 오른다. 1978년 증류된 원액은 43도의 낮은 도수에도 입안에서 풍성하게 번지며, 호두와 다크초콜릿, 가죽의 결을 천천히 드러낸다. 한 모금이 지나간 자리에는 말린 과실과 은은한 향신료가 깊게 머물며 길게 사라진다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
light gold
air Nose
It’s a rather typically exotic and fruity 1970s style Glenfarclas. Lots of ripe fruits such as apples, banana, pineapple and guava with honey, pollen, green tea and sultanas. Although, it’s not quite ‘exuberant’ in its fruitiness like earlier vintages can be, there’s a real sense of elegance and restraint about the nose. Pretty typical excellent ‘refill’ profile. Hints of crystallised fruits, damsons and mirabelle eau de vie
restaurant Palate
lovely balance between honeys, candied citrus peels, various herbal teas, wormwood, mint jelly and pressed wildflowers. Also some hints of cinnamon, nutmeg and clove
timer Finish
medium and on soft notes of tea, lemon balm, pineapple jelly and old Sauternes
