A rich and sherried 15 year old 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.
This 15 year old matured in sherry wood, a superb malt which earned 95 points from Jim Murray.
As always, Glenfarclas remains one of the best-value malts on the market – a must for lovers of sherried whisky.
Nose: Intense, powerful and creamy sherry - Pedro Ximenez? A delicious hint of peppermint.
Palate: Raisins, yet more sherry with orange peel, walnuts and finally dates.
Finish: Incredibly long and complex with more of the walnuts again.
One thing is for certain: working with sherry butts these days is a bit like working with ACME dynamite... you are never sure when it is about to blow up in your face. There is only minimal sulphur here, but enough to take the edge off a normally magnificent whisky, at the death. Instead it is now merely, in part, quite lovely. The talent at Glenfarclas is unquestionably among the highest in the industry: Ill be surprised to see the same weaknesses with the next bottling.
