Here we have an absolute classic Speysider from a long-time family-owned distillery. This 25 year old single malt from Glenfarclas spent its days in 100% Oloroso sherry casks. It’s complex and delicately sherried, a whisky that’s sure not to disappoint. It won gold at the 2019 International Spirits Challenge and makes a great after dinner treat. Awesome.
NoseA touch of menthol. Classic Sherry notes, less pronounced than the 15 year old perhaps, but the complexity is greater.
PalateIncredibly clean central palate, but amazingly tangy. Really zingy top notes. Sherry and creamy barley, hints of gingerbread and nutty chocolate.
FinishVery, very long and complex finish, oak-rich, hints of smoke, cocoa, buttery...
OverallOne of our all-time favourite Speyside malts
