A delicious, richly sherried Glenfarclas aged for 17 years and launched for the travel retail market. Loads of character and depth, just what we've come to expect from the distillery.
This bottle was part of a private collection - if you'd like more detailed photos just get in touch!
Complex and sophisticated, notes of buttery toffee, malt sherried peels, dates and even a hint of peat!
Full-bodied and rich, it fills and coats the palate with warming nutmeg, sherried fruits, cinnamon and mixed peels.
Long, spicy and sweet with just a hint of smoke on the tail.

It’s my go-to scotch. Sometimes a scotch just hits the right note and is perfect; it’s very personal. I used to love an 18 year Glenfiddich but it wasn’t terribly complex. The Glenfarclas 17 goes down nicely and gives me everything I want from a moderately aged scotch. Keep your overpriced Macallans, Glenfarclas is for those in the know.
Incredible bargain for the price.
I'm not going to give tasting notes. I think that has been done to death in other reviews. Glenfarclas was never on the radar for me until I got a bottle of Glenfarclas 17 as a gift. I tend to shy away from the older scotches since they are rarely worth the money. But this one I loved, so I decided to try the Glenfarclas 12 to see if the 17 was worth the difference in price. No brainer since I found the 12 rather boring. And the other nice thing, for a 17 year old, the ~$100 price tag was a pleasant surprise.
This is a very good sherried whisky and when it is on special, as it is now at Nick's Wine Merchants in Doncaster...go Nicks! -- it is simply a bargain.
Glenfarclas is often hit and miss for me, but this one is amazing. Orange peel, plum, sweet malt/cereal, barrel spice and a nice sherried finish. I can get in Aus for around £50 which I think is a deal all day long!
