Tasting Notes
Colour
pale gold
air Nose
more proof that Glenfarclas is a rather big, almost fat distillate even on the nose, which should come from direct-firing. Sunflower and grapeseed oils, hay, plasticine, then greengages and apples, barley wine, leaven bread, flowers (lily, wisteria)… All that is rather immaculate, thanks to some very lazy wood. It’s matured by time, not by wood, would we say. With water: splendid all-natural malt whisky, pretty bready
restaurant Palate
wonderful straw wine, unexpected mangos, more plums of all kinds, guavas, grass, fruit peelings, peanut oil, limoncello… It’s really sharp, in all senses and on all accounts. With water: more fantastic little berries, sorb perhaps, elderberries, holy, rosehip… And their eaux-de-vies, of course
timer Finish
medium, more on marzipan and plasticine again. A salty touch in the aftertaste. Marrow bouillon
