Glenfarclas 40 Year Old 70cl Whisky
Glenfarclas 40 Year Old
A much adored expression here - 40 year old single malt Scotch whisky from the legendary Glenfarclas, offering up generous helpings of Sherried notes that the distillery are famous for. Bottled at 43% ABV, and presented alongside a handsome box reminiscent of the iconic doors of Glenfarclas' warehouse.
Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt
Nose
Dense dark chocolate, cigar box and raisin as it opens, before hints of old oak furniture start to develop (some leather notes here, too!). After a few minutes, touches of Cognac-like rancio appear.
Palate
Continuing Christmas Cake elements, and a pinch of tobacco remains as well. Chocolate orange brownies, coffee beans and chewy dried fruit adds to the richness. Sparks of cinnamon and black pepper in the background, bringing a comforting warmth to the palate.
Finish
A long finish, boasting thick notes of Sherry and butterscotch. Seville orange marmalade and ginger develop later.
