The Glenfarclas Distillery in Speyside has put together a cracking gift set right here! It contains a 70cl bottle of a brilliant Glenfarclas 15 Year Old, alongside a 50ml miniature of the Glenfarclas 25 Year Old and Glenfarclas 105. If you know someone who's a fan of full-flavoured, richly sherried single malt, this will be a terrific treat for them!
Intense, powerful sherry. Cream sherry, certainly – Pedro Ximenez? almost… a touch of peppermint? An almost rancio quality to this. Smells older than 15.
Raisins, more sherry, orange peel, walnuts, dates.
Incredibly long, complex, more of the walnuts again.
Water draws out sweetness. This is Christmas cake, not whisky. Simply astonishing.
15 year old is lovely and the miniatures gave me the taste for the 25
