Glenfarclas 1983 Family Cask. Image courtesy Glenfarclas. This classic has a nose of Christmas cake, figs, plums, licorice, honey, hot fudge ice cream topping, and a hint of brown sugar. The taste is chewy and thick with cinnamon, hints of dark chocolate fudge, Christmas cake, and notes of figs and brown sugar underneath. The finish is smooth, long, and fruity with gently fading spices. Excellent! (June, 2014)
