Glenfarclas 10 year old 40%
Tasting Note
Re-tasted: May 2019
The nose appears to display more refill sherry these days, thus the slightly hard barley ‘distillery character’ is evident. Hints of toffee, malt, raisin, sultana and dried grape emerge along with a touch of sweet prune and late gooseberry.
The palate is relatively simple. malty and sherried, but blemish free with slightly hard barley, toffee, prune, raisin and bittering tannins. It darkens on the middle. Short, hard finish with lingering malt, coffee, hard spirit and wood spice. To be honest I’m not getting enough sweetness from the sherry to balance the spirit character.
Please note that the branded Glencairn glass is not included with this bottle. It however can be purchased separately for £8.95
