Glenfarclas 18 Year Old, 1000ml
Located in Speyside and founded in 1836, Glenfarclas is a family-owned distillery for six generations. Independent and traditional, they craft whisky their way, using time-honored methods like floor malting and direct-fired stills.
Renowned for long maturation primarily in ex-sherry casks (Oloroso and Fino), Glenfarclas whiskies often mature for decades, acquiring exceptional depth and complexity. Balancing Speyside's inherent floral and honeyed notes with the influence of sherry cask aging, Glenfarclas offers a truly distinctive whisky experience.
100% Oloroso Sherry Cask matured
Aromas: A warm and inviting aroma unfolds, led by notes of dried fruits (raisins, figs, dates), honey, and hints of spiced orange peel. Subtle oak and nutty nuances gently mingle in the background.
Palate: Full-bodied and warming, the whisky offers a vibrant tapestry of flavors. Speyside malt's creamy vanilla intertwines with sherry-derived fruit notes, toasted nuts, and hints of cinnamon and clove. Subtle oak tannins provide structure and elegance.
Finish: Long and lingering, the sweetness of fruit gradually fades into warming oak and whispers of spice, leaving a satisfyingly complex memory.
