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.

Speyside med samma bas dvs denna tydliga sherry men utöver det så skiljer den sig en del från Aberlour Abunadh/Tamdhu Batch Strength, Syrligare än dessa samt kryddig och ger en oljig känsla i munnen. Denna är nog bra som den är utan vatten men om man ska på med lite så ska det vara få droppar.
I was recently at a whisky trade exhibition. Tried the Glenfarclas 105 (which on sale for only £31 per bottle). The colour was rather light, subtle nose and the high alcohol % did not bother me (well I am a Viking so I am probably used to stronger drams). The the aftertaste was short and sudden. Like dropping off a cliff. Gone. Easy to drink but left absolutely no impression on me. Very bland so I did not buy it
I'm lovin it. Friken awesome dram yummy moreish
All in all a decent sherried malt. It does pale in comparison, however, to the Aberlour A'Bunadh... The 105 is punchy, grapey, well-spiced, and a bit nutty, which makes it a class act for a non-aged statement single malt. But all of these notes are a bit less full and present in smaller doses than in the Aberlour A'bunadh.
god smag og duft, skarp og rund kant. smagsoplevelse med velvære.
