Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
깊은 마호가니빛이 잔 속에서 진중하게 가라앉아 있다. 1970년 셰리 벗에서 36년을 보낸 글렌파클라스답게 말린 무화과와 흑설탕, 오래된 가죽의 향이 깊고 호사스럽게 솟아오른다. 입에 머금으면 당밀과 대추야자의 진득한 단맛 뒤로 다크초콜릿과 볶은 견과, 부드러운 향신료가 층층이 드러난다. 54.7도의 힘은 묵직하게 입을 채우고, 여운에는 건과일과 가죽, 향신료의 온기가 깊고 길게 이어진다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
full amber
air Nose
a previous one had a lot of kirsch. Well, this one has got a lot of old Demerara. Actually, it’s a maelstrom of sultanas, dates, praline and, as I said, rum. It’s also quite aggressive, maybe because all the previous ones had been comparatively and relatively light. Let’s add water: fab! Havana cigars galore, old pu-erh tea, humus, mushrooms… What’s not to love?
restaurant Palate
a big, big daddy. Extreme raisins, dates and figs plus some sweet notes of, well, sweets (jelly beans or babies, we’re all kids, aren’t we). In the background, pepper and mint roaring… Really big, thick, kind of imposing. With water: more sweets, mixed with sultanas. Rum baba. It’s a sin!
timer Finish
very long, with more liquorice and the menthol coming to the front. Glorious minty aftertaste
