Glenfarclas 15 Cask Strength Kensington Wine Market Edition. Image courtesy Kensington Wine Market.This exclusive bottling for the Kensington Wine Market in Calgary, Alberta has a rich, nutty, and sweet nose with notes of roasted almonds, Christmas cake, dark chocolate, subtle spices, and a hint of molasses. The taste starts off fruity at first with orange peel and citrus, but then the dark side takes over with baking spices, oak tannins, chocolate covered almonds, and hints of dates and raisins. Water adds hints of black cherries and anise while amping up the spices. The finish is long and dry with touches of Christmas cake, figs, dates, and dark chocolate. Outstanding! (April, 2019)
