What's in a name? Glenfarclas 105 whisky is called whisky because it's produced in Scotland. Were it from America it would be spelled Glenfarclas 105 whiskey, rather than whisky.
Nose: Great depth, sherry. Creamy and nutty. Honey on toast, touch of smoky coffee.Palate: Silken, spicy and peppery oak. Almond, praline, hazelnut, dried peels, fruity. Touch of Armagnac, hint of rancio perhaps?Finish: Long, peppery and nutty.
The Master of Malt
Woah.
My favourite Glenfarclas, up there with the 15 and 25! So mcuh zing.
This is stunning stuff
Deeper than the Pacific, tastier than your wildest dreams. An orchard in a bottle, a heroic malt to be treated with respect. Love it.
Glenfarclas 105 Tasting Note
MoM got it about right on the tasting notes, but you have to treat this dram with huge respect. It is way beyond Aberlour A'bunadh and Lahproig Cask Strengh in its nature. This is a raw out of the cask belter with a marvellous taste range. If you get the water right, which I have not so far, it might be special. My best attempt at taming the beast has been a wee straight nip.
I might have got the water right ..
.. and the oak, wine, and honey dance into the distance with a hint of salt besides. I still don't favour the initial nose, or even the taste greatly , but the after taste is just fantastic.
Great strong whisky..........just shame about the cork
A great whisky. I've tried the 15 and the 21 but 105 is a brilliant addition. A very strong dram and the taste really opens up with water (actually found I had to put a little more in than I normally would due to the alcohol %). My only disappointment is the cork. This is the 2nd bottle I've had and both corks snapped. I am very careful when opening and haven't had it happen on any other whiskies. Googled it and seems to be a very common problem with the 105. A real shame!
