Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
반세기 가까운 시간이 응축된 짙은 적갈색이 잔에 그윽하게 고인다. 리필 호그스헤드에서 38년을 보낸 1966년산 글렌파클라스는 잘 익은 체리와 다크 초콜릿, 오래된 오크의 향을 깊게 피워 올린다. 48.5도의 부드러운 도수 위로 한 모금은 매끄럽게 흐르며 말린 과일과 흑설탕, 은은한 커피의 풍미가 풍성하게 번진다. 오랜 숙성이 빚어낸 원숙하고 진중한 질감이 돋보이고, 여운은 초콜릿과 향신료, 나무의 단맛이 길고 깊게 남는다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
straw – pale gold
air Nose
this one is very different. Rather less exuberant but not less nice, more mineral and even waxier, with something that reminds me of some light-vatting old Clynelishes. Paraffin, car engine, turpentine… Gets even more resinous with time (pine needles, mastic). Lots of flowers as well (like buttercups or daisies) and hints of cooked vegetables (asparagus, even morels again – yummy) Probably a little more austere and sharper than the Whiskymag version, but maybe also a little more complex. Excellent
restaurant Palate
the differences are more or less the same here. Less fruity and more on herbs (verbena, coriander, parsley) but with again lots of oak. It’s also a little hotter than the Whiskymag version. Goes on with more or less the same waxy and resinous notes than on the nose and, quite funnily, notes of mustard just like in its sibling. The finish is even longer and a little sharper, mainly on bergamot tea and pepper. Really complex and elegant, with again no traces of sherry. 91 points .
