Glenfarclas 15 years old Tasting note

By Miguel at 2011 May,24 in Tasting , Recommended , Glenfarclas

“ A great whisky that shows its age in a delicious but smooth oloroso sherry notes and great spices tones. A must-drink speyside whisky.”

Distilled at one of the last family owned Scotland distilleries, this Glenfarclas 15 years old is an excellent value sherry matured malt which is winning many plaudits all over the place .

It scored highly with Dave Broom and Martine Nouet in Whisky Magazine, won gold with Malt Maniacs and scored 95 with Jim Murray's Whisky Bible.

If you like it, you should try the 25 years old and some of the Macallan Sherry Oak whiskies.

This dram has a white-like color.

Nose (92): inexistent. sweet, honey, wood, spices, citrus, a little cocoa, oloroso, nuts, brownie. First nosing data is innacurate as the previous tasting sheet lacked of this field.

Palate (96): . sweet, honey, spices, citrus, red fruits, cocoa, nuts, wood, a little peat. Bouquet data is innacurate as the previous tasting sheet lacked of this field.

Finish (88): no finish. spices, cinnamon, honey, wood. 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 15 year with 92 points over 100.
