Rich and sherried 15yo malt from one of the best distilleries in Speyside. Aged for a little bit longer and bottled a little stronger for a more concentrated, richer flavour. As always, Glenfarclas remains one of the best-value malts on the market – a must for lovers of sherried whisky.
Awarded a score of 95/100 in Jim Murray's 2007 Whisky Bible, one of the highest scores he has ever granted.
TASTING NOTES
NOSE: Complex and full, with heather honey, sweet vanilla fudge and dark fruit – raisins and plums.
TASTE: Rich and oily texture, with layers of marzipan, fruity sherry and spicy cinnamon and ginger.
FINISH: Lingering with brown-sugar sweetness and fruit.
OVERALL: Water draws out sweetness. This is Christmas cake, not whisky. Simply astonishing.
