Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
straw/white wine
air Nose
oh, an ex-rum hogshead? I’m getting a very remote funkiness, but that may be me. Other than that, it’s a rather naked, waxy, thick distillate, rather on many oils. Hazelnut, grape pips, sunflower, even linseed… With water: amazing, it got medicinal! Drop that ex-rum idea, replace with ex-Laphroaig!
restaurant Palate
indeed, it is a little oily, but it’s also bright and very herbal. Branches and herbs, leaves, woodruff, wormwood, aniseed (touches), fresh walnuts… I do enjoy this style a lot, it rather hints at the northern Highlands. With water: okay, it’s probably not only about Glenfarclas, it may well also be about the cask’s previous content. Islay? Clynelish? Pulteney? No, wait, Springbank or Longrow? Would that be surprising, given the company’s parentage? (talking about Cadenhead, not about Glenfarclas, naturally)
timer Finish
long, on more of all that
