Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
진한 적갈색이 잔 속에 깊게 고인다. 향을 맡으면 글렌파클라스다운 셰리에서 온 건포도와 대추야자의 향이 먼저 솟고 다크초콜릿의 기운이 받친다. 입에 들이면 스물한 해가 농축한 검붉은 과일과 가죽의 풍미가 혀를 둥글게 채우며 50.7도의 알코올이 단단하게 받쳐 준다. 증류소가 크리스마스를 기념해 내놓은 이 1980년 글렌파클라스는 클래식한 셰리 숙성의 깊이를 보여준다. 여운은 마른 과일과 쌉쌀한 코코아로 길게 남는다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
dark amber
air Nose
oh, lovely again, but this is different. It’s much more herbal and earthy, with more menthol, eucalyptus, even camphor, wormwood, old wardrobe, herbal teas (hawthorn, orange blossom). Certainly more smoke too, it’s frankly smoky but that’s not quite spent matches. With water: excluse me but LOL! Very unusual notes of Thai spices, sorrel, something sour but that’s quite splendid in this context, sweet cheese (Comté of the year)… This one tells you stories!
restaurant Palate
oh yes, it’s very smoky, almost peaty. Well, it IS peaty, was an ex-Islay cask involved? I have to say it’s almost got something of Lagavulin 21yo, and I’m not joking. Impressive but, I have to say, a little unlikely. Big leather and a lot of astringency. With water: oh, no! Doesn’t stand dilution unless you just add drops. Is that the peat?
timer Finish
long, peaty, herbal. Jaegermeister remade in Speyside (and Islay)
