Tasting Notes
Colour
dark gold
air Nose
But it's magnificent! Quite different from the classic Glenfarclas sherry, leaning more towards the high-end calvados, with hints of kiwi, hay, even dried seaweed, damp earth, malt extract, and dark beer... It's truly distinct, somewhat tight, but rich on the nose. With water: it swims perfectly, you can dilute it down to 30% ABV, and it remains very expressive, with some rather unusual spices, and always that unexpected salinity, even more of that cut hay, dried flowers, cigarette tobacco, and cherry stem tea
restaurant Palate
a lot of punch, malted barley, black cherry, ripe banana, nuts of course, and a bit of coffee fudge... With water: I can't tell if it's from an exceptional cask or if it represents a large stock from 2013, but in any case, this spicy bread aspect is magnificent. There's also a bit of woodiness and polish, indicating a rather active hogshead, which gives it a more modern character than usual
timer Finish
long, very spicy, woodier but still consistent, with even a certain freshness. Coffee, malt, and beer on the retro-nasal, as well as even more spiced bread
