Lots of sherry and fruit in this, Glenfarclas 12 was originally bottled for export and travel retail markets. In 2006, it was named the "Best Sherried Whisky" in the Single Malt World Cup, and in 2007 and 2008 it won Gold at the Stockholm Beer and Whisky Festival.
Light and creamy with a mix of supple, soft sherry and Manuka honey. Gentle and well-balanced, there are hints of smoke, rich oak, and a little pine resin.
Medium-bodied, with notes of date and walnut cake, Oloroso sherry and hints of earthy forest floor. A beautiful note of malt, with toffee apple and a touch of smoke.
Spicy and long, notes of allspice, cinnamon and cloves, with orange zest and sherry.

Rather poor for £50. Nondescript, unremarkable, a disappointment. Should be take off the market. A rip off. Much better available for less money.
I did read some of the negative reviews, and some of the stale to neutral reviews, but I'd have to say that this whisky caught me off-guard. It has a mild sweetness and woodiness, and the sherry was forward, and confident. Not the best, not the worst. Better than mid. I would pick this up for a time-to-time go-to. Especially for the price point.
All I can say, it’s a whiskey. It’s not particularly good or bad, in my opinion, maybe has a bit longer aftertaste and warmth than most, but nothing that would amaze me.
This has an odd smell to me - waxed wood, furniture polish with a soft fruity sweetness underneath. Taste is equally odd - similar to the smell, with a pretty pronounced burn, but the sweetness is more prominent and there's a carbon, coal like vibe and perhaps a bit of orange peel, followed by a long satisfying finish. Overall, it's very much its own thing, and the sherry seems balanced and pretty dry. Weird, but I quite like it.
Like this a lot , easy to drink. Delivery was fast and packed well
