Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
밝은 황금빛이 잔에 화사하게 어린다. 셰리로 이름난 스페이사이드의 글렌파클라스가 퍼스트필 버번 배럴에서 10년을 보내며 꿀과 잘 익은 배, 바닐라의 향을 풍성하게 끌어올린다. 셰리 대신 버번으로 옷을 갈아입은 글렌파클라스의 맑은 과일 결이 또렷하다. 59.4도의 높은 도수가 첫 모금에서 과수원 과일과 버터스카치의 단맛을 둥글게 풀어낸다. 퍼스트필 배럴이 빚어낸 또렷한 바닐라가 둥글게 입안을 감싼다. 여운에는 꿀과 바닐라, 옅은 향신료의 온기가 길게 남는다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
deep red amber
air Nose
sometimes, rich young sherry monsters may start like bourbon, in this case with rather a lot of varnish and acetone, over a nicely caramelised pecan pie straight from the oven. And then it's cake after cake, kougelhopf, tarte tatin, panettone… Well we're almost over the moon about this young beauty that, what's more, feels unexpectedly 'craft'. With water: seriously, I doubt you could do much better in Speyside, at this young age. Probably buries most neighbours…
restaurant Palate
perfect, if a little brutal and a little too much on cherries and strawberries because of the very high strength. And on Texas-style sweet and smoked barbecue sauce. There, let's add water… With water: toffee, chocolate, marmalade, raisins and coffee, the holy pentangle of sherried Speyside whisky. We'll now sip this away while listening to Jacqui Mcshee's Pentangle, if you don't mind…
timer Finish
long and more on raisins, fig arrack, dried jujubes and litchees… The aftertaste is very chocolatey again, with even a little smoke
