Glenfarclas 15 Cask Strength

Country: Scotland

Region: Speyside

Type: Single Malt

Bottler: Distiller

ABV: 58.6%

Score: 94 Points

This bottling for The Whisky Exchange in London has the classic Glenfarclas nose of Christmas cake, raisins, figs, plums, berry cobbler, and a touch of fresh-baked bread smeared with honey. The taste is intense with clove, cinnamon, and black pepper spices balanced by dried fruits, red grapes, and honey with a thick and oily mouthfeel. The finish is long and spicy with lingering clove and cinnamon notes along with hints of honey and brown sugar. Excellent! (November, 2014)
