this is very cool, you really feel like you’re getting up close and personal with the unvarnished Glenfarclas distillate character here. It’s all mineral oils, shoe polish, greenery, cereals, seeds, soft earthy tones, grassy olive oil and fresh fabrics. And what’s more, it remains wonderfully fresh and approachable even at full strength. With water: becomes a little drier, more chalky, more direct and austere. Notes of crushed aspirin, flints, pebbles, gravel and moss
restaurant Palate
terrifically full and oily texture on arrival. Lots of putty, limestone, greenery, grassy notes, limoncello, very delicate medical notes, tiger balm, slightly sooty aspects and more of these cereal, polish and mineral qualities. Very good! With water: the texture is really terrific now, full bodied, buttery, thick and yet with this nicely chiselled, austere profile as well. Treads a line between intellectual and fun
timer Finish
long, peppery, slightly waxy, drying and full of soft notes of ink, grass, sunflower oil, mint tea, lemon peel and carbon paper
