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.
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!
