Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
full gold
air Nose
a rapid development but very characteristic of Glenfarclas, let me explain. Alright, there's a mineral, basalt-like aspect, almost a bit sulphurous (no worries, we're not talking about cabbage soup here), then cooked fruits of all kinds, apricots, damsons, dried grapes of course, and finally everything more towards molasses, strong-flavoured honey, Middle-Eastern fig wine, pipe tobacco, citrus maceration…
restaurant Palate
similar, it's a three-stage malt, first leather and tobacco, then candied or jammy fruits (figs continue to play a major role), and finally chestnut honey and maple syrup. One would swear they've also added a few pitchers of old Demerara rum, maybe to make it a Navy Whisky (S., yeah right…)
timer Finish
long, perfect, spicy, and of course very 'sherry', with lots of nuts and again that mineral side that suggests sulphur but isn't. An asset within this context
