Tasting Notes

Colour

pale gold. Wasn't it darker, in the past?

air Nose

rather more on fresh malt, fresh fruit, earth and doughs, plus root vegetables aplenty. Artichokes and honey, turnips, moist wholegrain bread… So far, so nice. With water: touch of pencil shaving, bark, stout, some ashes…

restaurant Palate

hard to explain, I would say this 105 has got more Glenfarclasness than the 'Heritage'. Huge dark malt, dark honeys, cracked peppercorns, eggplants and Jerusalem artichokes, parsnips… Enough to make a wonderful gratin. Love this rusticity, always have, since the '104' (but we tried the latter later). With water: high-class hipflask malt, provided it's a solid silver flask. Or pure gold, why not. Everything's in its place, balance is perfect, power is there, we're happy as a gypsy at an international guitar show (or an amateur gardener at an ancient rose exhibition). Right, right
