Here we have an absolute classic Speysider from a long-time family-owned distillery. This 25 year old single malt from Glenfarclas spent its days in 100% Oloroso sherry casks. It’s complex and delicately sherried, a whisky that’s sure not to disappoint. It won gold at the 2019 International Spirits Challenge and makes a great after dinner treat. Awesome.
A touch of menthol. Classic Sherry notes, less pronounced than the 15 year old perhaps, but the complexity is greater.
Incredibly clean central palate, but amazingly tangy. Really zingy top notes. Sherry and creamy barley, hints of gingerbread and nutty chocolate.
Very, very long and complex finish, oak-rich, hints of smoke, cocoa, buttery...
One of our all-time favourite Speyside malts.
I have given only a few whiskies a perfect 10/10 score on here but this probably deserves an 11/10 this is a very special whisky. Let it sit for 25 minutes before nosing it so you can really appreciate it so much sherry, cinnamon red apples, toffee, hint of menthol, gingerbread, cocoa, the chaps at mom hit these tasting notes right on the nose. Truly spectacular with the longest finish I've ever had in a whisky that just continues to develop new flavors on the palate. Glenfarclas never ceases to astonish me with how good their product is and for the price you just can't beat em. Epic dram. Cheers! The Sugarbear
There’s a reviewer further down saying he doesn’t like this then comparing it with laphroig saying it’s better. That’s like comparing black and white, two different whiskies all together. Some people should really think before they speak. This is an excellent 25 year old and a fraction of the price of many 25 year old malts out there. Excellent from a great wee family distillery
Absolutely love the 15 so I wasn't impressed when I first opened the bottle but a few months later and it is phenomenal.
Never ending finish!! As the minutes go by the layers of complexity keep on coming. It costs the tongue with a wonderful buttery creamy feeling. One of my all time favourites!
I would recommend it
