Glenfarclas 15 Year Old Single Malt. Speyside, Scotland. ABV: 46.00%. Tasted at home, $100 (bottle).
Colour: A police officer of above average intelligence…bright copper.
Nose: Rich, sweet sultanas. It gets even better with time in the glass.
Palate: Caramelised brown sugar, dried muscatels, lots of sherry notes. A hint of soft charcoal. Not a whole heap of heat, just soft buttery flavours and some spices.
Finish: Peppery oak but with some residual sweetness, especially as you lick your lips. And you’ll want to, because this is a great drop. Quite a long finish, only a very gentle heat though.
Comments: A very solid whisky, great flavour profile and complexity. It’s no wonder this is such a popular drop, you really can’t go wrong with one of these in your collection.
