Glenfarclas
Scotland
Single Malt
A wonderfully sherried 15 year old dram from Glenfarclas, boasting oodles of dried fruit notes. It’s bottled at 46% ABV simply because this was the strength that George Grant’s grandfather preferred it at. Happily, this also results in the Speysider boasting a big, juicy, Christmas cake profile. A fabulously complex Scotch while also being easily drinkable.
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.
simply lovely ......
A very nice one this for only 15 years old!Packs a punch at 46% and delivers with big flavours...a bottle that should permanently be in your cupboard and great on a cold xmassy evening!!!
Nice flavor but not very complex.
The last bottle I had of this, approximately 6 months ago, was so sulphured (if such a word exists) that it was rendered undrinkable. As such, I was left no other option than to give the bottle to somebody I don't like. If you get a good bottle, this is a perfectly balanced whisky and a mainstay on my personal 10/10 list; heavily sherried but not a monster and displaying a beautiful structure of malt, nuts and dried fruits. However, if you get a bad bottle, you better be as misanthropic as I am to get any sense of satisfaction out of it.
This represents the best of and all that is great about Glenfarclas. At 46%, it's got lots of bite but is richly complex with a beautifully lingering stimulation of chordi tympani. I've been round many corners with whisky but this is the way, the truth and the light!....
