Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 천천히 흔들면 짙은 적갈색이 잔 벽을 느리게 타고 내린다. 코끝을 대면 글렌파클라스다운 셰리의 건포도와 다크 체리, 크리스마스 케이크 같은 향신료가 풍성하게 올라온다. 한 모금 머금으면 54.8도의 두꺼운 질감이 입을 채우며 말린 자두와 흑설탕, 정향이 진하게 번진다. 1980년 증류해 21년을 보낸 깊이를 삼키면, 그을린 오크와 다크 초콜릿의 묵직한 여운이 길게 남는다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
full amber
air Nose
starts more obviously winey right away, on big notes of raisins as well as the same kind of flintiness as in the ’48.6%’. Develops towards plain wine notes, mostly along the ‘Madeira – yellow wine’ styles. Dry tobacco, leather, old spices. It’s as if it was a little tired but the palate will tell
restaurant Palate
no it isn’t. It’s a rich and almost thick kind of sherry now, with a rather unusual twist, that is to say organic notes that one won’t usually find in sherried whiskies. Mostly mushroomy/moist notes… Also hints of cured ham. Otherwise it’s all prunes and fruit liqueurs and chocolates and coffee and toffee. A tad heavy actually, but very good
timer Finish
very long, spicier. Ginger and pepper over prunes
