Glenfarclas 15 Year Old Whisky

Good whisky but not £72 whisky. This was a decent buy at £50. Speyburn 15 knocks spots off this for £20 less.

Nice sherried whisky.
Walnut and figs on the palate.
Too bad there is quite a strong ethanol taste to it also...

not impressed upon opening tasted like sharp cognac. however decant and a week later its liquid sherry sponge cake with honey red apple brandy and raisins finish on carpet of sweet orange peel

My go to Glenfarclas, mellow, speyside delicious flavour.

Really nice dram with odour and flavour to boot. Won't last long in this house!

Stunning dram. Loved the smell when I opened it and it didn’t disappoint.

Very nice whisky and reasonable price.

For a 15 year old at 46% , I found this slightly thin, lacking in complexity and certainly no sherry monster. The MoM tasting notes talk of raisins, walnuts, dates and orange peel, sadly I found these lacking or weak. Imho, Glenfarclas needs to invest a little more money on good casks as they appear tired. For the price this represents reasonably, possibly good value but there are more complex and stronger sherry influence option on the market, albeit at same or higher price. This version does compare favourably with the 43% 18 year old however I would not buy either again.

A littler nippier than I expected for a 15 year old but still very nice however I prefer Balvenie 14 year old Caribbean cask which is much smoother and about the same price

Glenfarclas has been a bit hit or miss for me but this one is on point. Great sherried malt. Very good punchiness at 46% (something that is lacking a bit on their the 12 and 25 year olds). Very happy with this one!
