Tasting Notes
Colour: Vibrant straw-gold Nose: Tempting sherry-sweet malty tones combine with delicate smokiness, releasing subtle spices. Warming the glass reveals honey, vanilla and pear drops. Flavour: Delicately light, with a mouth-watering combination of maltiness, smokiness and sherry sweetness. Hints of dried fruit, vanilla, cinnamon and cloves tempt the taste buds further. Finish: Long, smooth and spicy, with a delicious, yet delicate, lingering smokiness. Comment: Gloriously smooth, yet with the depth and finish you would normally only expect of a much older dram. A wonderfully sherried whisky, and an excellent aperitif.

Distillery Notes
Glenfarclas is renowned for its full bodied and well sherried style. The distillery was purchased by the Grant family in 1865 and currently the 5th and 6th generation of the family own and manage the distillery, which is one of only a handful that are truly independent family run businesses. Independence gives Glenfarclas the freedom to be uncompromising in their commitment to the founding principle of producing superior quality Single Malt, in the traditional Speyside style.
