Glenfarclas 25 years old Tasting note

By Miguel at 2011 May,27 in Tasting , Recommended , Glenfarclas

“ A stunning sherried whisky by Glenfarclas. Oloroso notes, fruits, spices, delicious. In my opinion the best one from the range of 10 to 40 years old Glenfarclas whiskies.”

Distilled at the Glenfarclas distillery in the Speyside, this awesome 25 years old single malt whisky belongs to one of the last family owned distilleries in Scotland.

An all-time classic, Glenfarclas 25 years old is the epitome of long-aged sherried Speyside, gorgeously smooth and silkily-textured, with rich, generous flavours of fruitcake, hazelnuts, dried fruit and a hint of dark chocolate and coffee. A thoroughly delightful dram.

If you like sherried whiskies you are already late buying one!

This dram has a white-like color.

Nose (96): inexistent. sweet, oloroso, wood, tobacco, vanilla, a little citrus. First nosing data is innacurate as the previous tasting sheet lacked of this field.

Palate (96): . sweet, wood, citrus, spices, honey, vanilla, peach, pepper. Bouquet data is innacurate as the previous tasting sheet lacked of this field.

Finish (92): no finish. honey, floral, wood, vanilla, spices, a little citrus. Finish length is innacurate as the previous tasting sheet lacked of this field.

So based on other whiskies I have already tasted I rate this Glenfarclas 25 year with 95 points over 100.

Glenfarclas 10 years old Tasting note

By Miguel at 2011 May,22 in Tasting , Recommended , Glenfarclas

“ This fabulous speyside sherried whisky is really delicious with outstanding oloroso sherry notes on its taste. You must get it.”

Once upon a time, there was a whisky distillery in the Speyside managed by the same family for generations. And still is, Glenfarclas is one of the last family distilleries out there, in a world of shark-like giant enterprises.

This Glenfarclas 10 years old is a straw-gold , delicately light, sweet and malty dram leaving a long slightly spicy finish. Always impeccably well-made, this is a whisky that always delivers in quality.

If you like the Macallan, this single malt is something you shouldn't miss at all.

This dram has a white-like color.

Nose (88): inexistent. sweet, deep oloroso, nutty, citrus, tobacco, wood, spices. First nosing data is innacurate as the previous tasting sheet lacked of this field.

Finish (88): no finish. wood, honey, spices. Finish length is innacurate as the previous tasting sheet lacked of this field.

So based on other whiskies I have already tasted I rate this Glenfarclas 10 year with 91 points over 100.
