Tasting Notes
Colour
amber
air Nose
another textbook Glenfarclas, though this one leans a little more towards varnishes and wax polishes, which we naturally adore. The rest splits itself between walnuts, roasted peanuts, chestnut honey, prunes and milk chocolate. Very hard to fault at this stage. Mind you, that’s hardly the goal. With water: still ultra-classic, though now it takes on more earthy tones, cigars, and even a few touches of juniper and cumin sneaking in. You may as well add a few drops of the fine spirits those talented folk up north in Europe are producing using those ingredients
restaurant Palate
rather oily, opening on orange zest and ginger slices dipped in chocolate, the sort of treats you’d enjoy with a good coffee. Just like this GF, without doubt. It then heads straight for absolutely pure dark chocolate, with just a peppery trace or two. With water: it’s the floral notes that lift the whole affair to new heights, truly lovely. An irresistible peony note emerges here, it gains several points at this stage, not that such things matter, of course
timer Finish
long, fresh, and surprisingly more complex. And here come the oranges! A beautiful finale, Springsteen-style (what?)
