This superb single malt hails from the Glenfarclas distillery, having spent a remarkable 30 years maturing to perfection. This extended aging process has yielded a whisky with a fantastically full-bodied and immensely satisfying Sherry-influenced flavor profile, making it an all-around awesome and exceptional expression.
Tasting Note by Glenfarclas:Nose: Full of complex aromas with fruit and sherried malty tones.Palate: With Sherry, cognac, brandy, fruit, nuts, marzipan (and even icing), this is a wonderfully indulgent Christmas cake, in a glass!Finish: A whisky you never want to end and it very nearly doesn’t. The finish is exquisite with a real taste of brunt chocolate at the back of your mouth.
