Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
dark red amber
air Nose
rich and deep, very jammy, ridden with black raisins, dried figs, dates, with wee whiffs of wood smoke too, chocolate, lit cigar, the ristretto-est espresso … In short, some ultra-classic sherried Glenfarclas from those days. Many 1988s, 1989s and 1990s had been 'filled like this', if I remember well. With water: more black berries, clove, mulled wine, cocoa and dates. A large pack of big fat dried dates, love them too
restaurant Palate
just huge, thick, extremely chocolaty and full of coffee, I believe if you push just a little further you just get 'sherry at cask strength'. With water: just coffee-schnapps, with perhaps a thin slice of Schwartzwalder
timer Finish
liquid Schwartzwalder indeed. Immense chocolateness
