GLENFARCLAS 格蘭花格

Glenfarclas 25 Year Old 70cl 43.0%

Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt

Nose: A touch of menthol. Classic Sherry notes, less pronounced than the 15 year old perhaps, but the complexity is greater.

Palate: Incredibly clean central palate, but amazingly tangy. Really zingy top notes. Sherry and creamy barley, hints of gingerbread and nutty chocolate.

Finish: Very, very long and complex finish, oak-rich, hints of smoke, cocoa, buttery...

Overall: One of our all-time favourite Speyside malts.

Glenfarclas 格蘭花格“綠草原的山谷”住落於貝里詩(Ben Rinnes)的山腳下，冬天的雪水溶化後成為釀造格蘭花格最重要的山泉水。只選用特優的榖類及歷代傳承的釀酒技術，在蘇格蘭多達百餘家的麥芽威士忌蒸餾 廠裡面，Glenfarclas 格蘭花格可說是最獨特的一家，這樣的說法並不單純只是因為該廠所生產的單一麥芽威士忌在Speyside（斯佩賽）地區的酒款中，各方評價都是最高的。
Glenfarclas 格蘭花格創廠於1836年，長久以來一直都是由家族獨立經營，目前已經傳承到第五代。酒廠使用正統的舖地式(Dunnage)倉庫陳年，而不使用堆疊式 (Racked)倉庫，確保產品的陳年效果。有別於其他蒸餾廠出品的威士忌，主要目的是作為調和威士忌的原料使用，Glenfarclas打從開始釀造的 那一刻起就以作為產品的目標來生產，對於口味上的要求可是絕不妥協。
Glenfarclas 格蘭花格在其他蒸餾廠都已陸續被各大財團併購瓜分、逐漸失去獨立自主性的大環境下，仍然堅持著由家族自立經營，堅持著遵循真正的傳統造酒。在這百家爭鳴的 產業裡面，Glenfarclas可以說是最特立獨行的一股清流，也只有真正不隨波逐流的行家，才懂得欣賞這樣獨特風格的酒廠。
