Tasting Notes

Colour

deep gold

air Nose

and now for something completely different! This is classic toasty, malty, walnutty sherried Glenfarclas, with chocolate, prunes, café latte, wood smoke, liquorice and black Corinthian raisins. The whole is rather dry, and is getting very coffee-ish. We won’t complain, we love coffee. With water: very funny notes of truffles, ‘good’ sulphur, black olives and… well, exhaust fumes. Not sure Greenpeace would approve, but I enjoy this

restaurant Palate

sweeter, rich, jammy, thick, roasted and toasted, with maple syrup, pecan pie, dried figs, raisins, notes of armagnac (the nearest aged booze), and oranges. It’s strong, but it’s kind of fresh, so all goes well. With water: all goes well indeed. A bit thick, but that’s for the cause. The oranges got bigger

timer Finish

long, spicy, with bitter oranges, marmalade, all those sorts of things
