A dram from the highly esteemed Glenfarclas distillery. This juice showcases Glenfarclas’s classic “Christmas Cake” style, derived from aging the whisky in Oloroso Sherry casks. 17 years is a slightly unusual age statement, but here it hits the sweet spot between youthful exuberance and dignified maturity, with the result a perfectly poised single malt.

Details
Glenfarclas is a rare distillery, in that it remains independent and family owned. The distillery is found close to the whisky power centre of Aberlour, and has changed little in terms of approach or marketing over the years, preferring to invest in making high quality single malt.
Famed for its use of Sherry casks, which are crucial to producing the distillery’s “Christmas Cake” house style, Glenfarclas is an important part of every serious whisky drinker’s journey. This bottling, previously a travel retail exclusive, demonstrates everything that is great about Glenfarclas.

Tasting notes
Nose
Opens with intense aromas of beeswax and concentrated sweet malt, soon joined by marmalade on toast, dark honey, raisins, a little freshly brewed coffee and polished oak.
Taste
Waxy orange and lemon peels emerge first on this full, rich mouthfeel, followed by a wave of oaky spice: nutmeg, cinnamon and vanilla. Figs in syrup round things out nicely.
Finish
A medium length finish that delivers notes of drying dark chocolate, coconut flakes, Sherry tannins, leather and sugared barley.
