Glenfarclas 25 Year Old Whisky 43%

Glenfarclas 25 Year Old 43%

Official Tasting Notes

Nose: A touch of menthol. Classic Sherry notes, less pronounced than the 15 year old perhaps, but the complexity is greater.

Palate: Incredibly clean central palate, but amazingly tangy. Really zingy top notes. Sherry and creamy barley, hints of gingerbread and nutty chocolate.

Finish: Very, very long and complex finish, oak-rich, hints of smoke, cocoa, buttery...

Overall: One of our all-time favourite Speyside malts.
