George Grant, 6th generation of the Grant family who have owned the distillery since 1865, had this to say about Glenfarclas 60 Year Old:
Nose:It is surprisingly vibrant with lots of dried fruits, demerara sugar and spice coming through on the nose as well as the rich, oaky tannins that one would expect from a whisky of this venerable age.
Palate: The sherry influence really comes through on the palate, with rich treacle, bitter coffee and espresso notes all making an appearance.
Finish: The finish is the longest I have ever experienced – 20 minutes later you will still be able to taste the subtle nuances of this incredible dram.
