Description

Special edition for Glenfarclas’s important milestone, 185 years of production.  We think a mix of sherry and bourbon, and bottled at 46%

Only 400 of the 6000 bottles released came into Aus, with over half of them went to the well-known Gillies Whisky club.

From WhiskyNotes.be, “Richer now, slightly spicier and not as light as the ABV suggests. It’s close to some of these undisclosed Speyside malts of late – still hardly any young notes. Oranges, damsons, stewed berries, even a hint of passion fruit. Hints of herbal tea, candied ginger, cinnamon and a little furniture wax. Now more nutty hints and a wee touch of chocolate as well. Finish: not very long, but enjoyable, with some mint, apple, old wood and cocoa.

There, it’s even better than 10 years ago. It’s great how they manage to let the older whisky speak and keep the younger casks at a distance. A great refill-ish profile at an easy-going strength and with a very fair price! Highly recommended”.
