Tasting one Glenfarclas

A new-ish Glenfarclas expression today, one to try!





















Glenfarclas 105 20yo 57% OB

I'll be trying the pretty new 20yo version of the Glenfarclas 105, which I think could be good news for the Glenfarclas fans. But Why are they bottling a 20yo at 57%abv instead of just bottling it at CS? More profits? Surely not, they're not an IB. Better whisky? We all can add water to the whisky ourselves, not needed. I believe the 4000 bottles of this is a trial bottling to check its popularity, and if it is well taken onboard by the punters, It will be easy to recreate and have as part of the standard range, such as the NAS 105 now seems to have become. The color is smoky, earthy, cinnamon, heather, cloves, beetroot, waxy, perfumy, medium dry sherry, port wine, flinty. The taste is sweet, rich, honeyed, almonds, grape juice, sweet onions, apricots, rum, bittersweet sherry flavors, rich and fruity stuff with just the right amount of bitter and pepperiness.

Great Glenfarclas, keep going with this version: 8
