An exceedingly smart and special gift set from Glenfarclas, ideal if you're looking to impress a Scotch whisky fan on a special occasion! Housed within the smart red box, designed to look like the distillery's famous red doors, you'll find a full-sized bottle of Glenfarclas 25 Year Old, accompanied by a trio of branded Glencairn tasting glasses, and a branded Glencairn water jug.
A touch of menthol. Classic Sherry notes, less pronounced than the 15 year old perhaps, but the complexity is greater.
Incredibly clean central palate, but amazingly tangy. Really zingy top notes. Sherry and creamy barley, hints of gingerbread and nutty chocolate.
Very, very long and complex finish, oak-rich, hints of smoke, cocoa, buttery...
One of our all-time favourite Speyside malts.
I got this set for someone who wants to foray more into the world of whisky. This box gets them everything needed to start their adventure with a big age statement bottle to boot. The nose is a mellow rounded note of honey, slightly citrus notes à bit of the oak from the barrel. The palate has light tabaco, some sherry and maltiness come forth too. All of this leads to a round slightly shorter than expected finish where it all mixes and ends with a small bit of the barrel showing up.
