Winner of 3 awardsGlenfarclas
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.
Over the years I have enjoyed many bottles of this 15yo. It was a reliable 'go-to' for a rich sherried dram. Opened my new bottle last night to cheer myself up after all the depressing news about more lockdowns. However, I can't say I enjoyed my dram as much as I was expecting. It was a pale imitation of the 'Christmas cake in a glass' it used to be: it didn't seem to have the same richness or body or lingering finish. Don't get me wrong, it wasn't a bad dram - just not up to standard, in my opinion.
Great sherried whisky this. 15 yrs is a nice age for me. quite smooth too, and at price its a no brainer..
Interesting flavours, quite unexpected as the 18year tastes quite unlike this one. Definitely tasting the walnuts, lightly roasted. Memories of a dried up fruit cake with tons of fruit came to mind after getting over the strong nuttiness. Was excited to try this, but now that I have (had a sample bottle), I might not see myself purchasing a bottle.
Lovely golden color. Sherry, fruit, vanilla, old wood nose. Fruitcake, sweet spice, vanilla, sherry flavour. Long length, lingering and strong alcohol. Very moreish !
I really like Sherry Whiskies, and this hits the spot, without being over powered by the Sherry. I did find I needed to add quite a few drops of water, adding drop by drop, really brings out the finer parts of this Whisky. Kev Doncaster
