Glenfarclas
Scotland
Single Malt
Glenfarclas 105 is a superb cask strength whisky, with a history that can be traced to 1968. When the original incarnation was released that year, Glenfarclas became the first distillery to release a barrel proof single malt whisky.
The bottling was eventually re-named to 105, referring to its alcohol content in British Proof, which equates now to 60% ABV.
The 105 doesn't carry an age statement presently, making it rare among Glenfarclas bottlings. Although, there are suggestions that it is matured for 8-10 years in a combination of both ex-sherry and ex-bourbon barrels.
Drying, assertive and richly spiced, the 105 makes for a superb dram, one the Malt Maniacs rated as the best “Bang for your buck” whisky in 2004. Add a drop of water if you please to explore its depth - and don't be put off by that ABV, there's plenty of flavour here to enjoy.
Great depth, Sherry. Creamy and nutty. Honey on toast, touch of smoky coffee.
Silken, spicy and peppery oak. Almond, praline, hazelnut, dried peels, fruity. Touch of Armagnac, hint of rancio perhaps?
Long, peppery and nutty.
First discovered 105 back in 1991 in a hotel bar in Peterhead after having been introduced to it by a retired B52 captain. I've loved it ever since and my current bottle, which I have had since 2009, is still going and it is treasured. Almost ready to buy another. For me, nothing else gets close. This is the one.
I have a great friend who visits for a coffee - he brings the doughnuts! At midday the sun is over the yardarm and it is whisky time. He can imbibe his tipple neat - with 105 I certainly needed to include water. This suited our palates admirably. I shall re-order when it becomes necessary
Does what it says on the tin.
Lovely drop of malt with great depth of character s as d strength, my go to drink?
honey and sherry, excellent depth and layering of flavours, noticeable armagnac on the palate - which I love. I'm a peat and phenols man typically - but found this very enjoyable.
