The sixth release of Glenfarclas's 1968 Family Cask was aged in a sherry cask for over 40 years before bottling in 2010 at natural cask strength. A rich, intense whisky with a lot of flavour and complexity.
Dark notes of sherry and malt, toffee apples, stewed fruit and prune, some black pepper, cinnamon and nutmeg.
Malty and intense, almost chocolatey with thick notes of espresso bean, calves leather and allspice, hints of smoked prune juice (such a think does exist!) and manuka honey.
Good length with toffee and various "dark" fruits on the tail.
