Glenfarclas 1992 Family Casks X Sherry Butt 1710 | £218.00 |
Martine Nouet
77- Nose
- Intense. Oaky and earthy. Heavily sherried. Damp cider cellar. Humus. Hint of mushrooms. Bitter marmalade. Dried apples. Touch of nutmeg.
- Palate
- Sweet at first then the oak grip makes it very astringent. Bitter chocolate and marmalade again. Wood is overwhelming.
- Finish
- Dry, astringent with a sweet aftertaste.
- Comment
- Probably a sherry first fill. The wood is the leader. Fruit is in an oaky cage. I know some people love it that way. I look for more balance.
Rob Allanson
79- Nose
- A little musty, dunnage warehouses, alcohol and damp wood. Then peaches, meringue and lemon curd. Dusty, like walking in a sawmill.
- Palate
- Pineapples, orange liqueur laced pancakes, marmalade cake, the wood is still here with oak spices.
- Finish
- Alcohol dries with sugared almonds.
- Comment
- Water helps tame the alcohol and amplifies the sweetness.
