About this deal

It's full-bodied and rich, with an abundance of dark forest fruits and oak spice that will linger on your palate. Intense, long lasting, dry and malty finish, with a tickle of dark chocolate rounding out this dram. Glenfarclas is one of the only family-run distilleries in Scotland and has been in the Grant family for generations. While other distilleries just down the road in Dufftown sell much more and are much more widely known, Glenfarclas for me has always had more substance and interest, and not just because of the little extra ABV we get with several of their expressions of their core range. Earthy notes of dried leaves, wet wool, and a hint of maltiness start things off on the nose, then citrus and red apple.

The distillery has six stills which are the largest on Speyside and are heated directly by gas burners. If no such law exists in a Member’s country of residence, the Member has to be over 21 years old to use the Service.Dried apple rings liberally spread with blackcurrant jam and sprinkled with brown sugar sit in the middle. You can of course be a family-owned distillery and make terrible whisky, but I’ve always managed to have good stuff from them. V. is the Dutch private limited liability company, having its statutory seat in Rotterdam, The Netherlands and its office at Zwaanshals 530, 3035 KS Rotterdam, The Netherlands. Just the opposite, actually: every Glenfarclas bottle I’ve spent time with has been good to very good, my pick of the litter being (perhaps unsurprisingly) the 46% 15 year old. Neither Whiskybase nor any of its group companies (including any subsidiary, affiliate or holding company), directors, officers and employees shall in any way be liable or responsible (whether directly, indirectly, consequential) for any costs, claims, damages, liabilities and other expenses, including any consequential loss, suffered by you resulting from your use of the Service.

Aroma: Complex, yet refined, with tempting aromas of marmalade, honey, freshly ground coffee, sherry and nuts.

But in the past I've found older Glenfarclas tended to need a little longer, around 30-35 mins for the 25yo. There is a perceived wisdom that says "a minute in the glass per year in the cask" for malt whisky to breathe an find its optimum balance.d) the right to license, use, sell, archive, reproduce, distribute, modify, perform, publish, create derivative works from, offer for sale, or use of the Service. It was a nice touch, and one I’ve found that lends me some affection towards the distillery, even if I wouldn’t say that it’s among my very favourites.
