15 Year Old Whisky
Customer Rating
“I have had a number of speyside malts. But the 15 is the benchmark for quality. Everything new I drink is compared to this. So far, I don't think I have had a better bottle of whisky”
Graeme
Description
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.
Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt
Nose
Intense, powerful sherry. Cream sherry, certainly – Pedro Ximenez? almost… a touch of peppermint? An almost rancio quality to this. Smells older than 15.
Palate
Raisins, more sherry, orange peel, walnuts, dates.
Finish
Incredibly long, complex, more of the walnuts again.
Overall
Water draws out sweetness. This is Christmas cake, not whisky. Simply astonishing.
