Glenfarclas 31 Port Cask Matured

Country: Scotland

Region: Speyside

Type: Single Malt

Bottler: Distiller

ABV: 42.8%

Glenfarclas 31 Port Cask Matured. Image courtesy Glenfarclas. A rarity from Glenfarclas, which is known for its use of ex-Sherry casks. The nose has notes of red grapes, honey, vanilla, toasted oak, allspice, and nutmeg. The taste is sweet and fruity with grapefruit, red grapes, ginger, mild cinnamon, and vanilla notes. The finish is long, aromatic, and slightly spicy with hints of lingering grapefruit. Very nice. (June, 2013)
