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.
Outstanding
not as good as before??! i think 15yo and 21yo is very close. still a good whisky though
Overpriced, overrated even at 4 stars. This is just simply a poorly made whisky lacking any interesting flavors or depth. Hot on the tongue, harsh on the nose, and just less than mediocre on every front. Tried it neat, with a melted ice cube, a splash of soft water, and with various snack foods. Nothing could save it. As a reference a few of my favorites are Laphroaig 10 (cask strength), Hakashu 12, JW Platinum 18, Nikka Straight From the Barrel, Blanton's, and Four Roses Single Barrel. All of these are better for less money in my opinion.
A little over priced but with a good nose and tastes of wild burnt flowers,so not bad but would be better in another cheaper price range, However, worth a 5 star
very smooth
