Tasting 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 . Glenfarclas 38 yo 1966/2005 (48.3%, SMWS 1.123)
