Settling in at the 60% proof mark, this whisky is famed for the 'bang for your buck' if provides!
Deep gold in colour, the nose is complex and delivers aromas of apples, pear and a tempting dark toffee sweetness. Dry and assertive, the flavour develops quickly to reveal a rich spiciness, combined with a hint of oak and sherried fruit. The finish is incredibly smooth for the strength, with a wonderful warming feel and some lingering smokiness, whilst remaining very rounded.
About the Producer
Glenfarclas produce outstanding malts and in an unusually wide variety of ages. Experienced tasters usually place them in the top three or four from this most distinguished district. The Glenfarclas malts are at the heftier end of the Speyside line-up, though they are not the very heaviest. The Glenfarclas malts are the strong, silent type: tall, dark and handsome, notably firm bodied, but willing to reveal a sweet side to their nature. They are excellent company at any time and especially after dinner. Glenfarclas means “valley of the green grass”. The distillery is about a mile from the Spey, beyond which the heather-covered hills rise toward Ben Rinnes from which the distillery’s water flows.
