General description

first Glenfarclas and an instant fan. Absolutely love the color. Very Sherry forward, leather, cashew butter, tiny bit of vanilla bean, mandarin orange, baking spice, sugared gingersnap cookie, subtle sweet red apple and thats all on the nose. tastes decadent and strong with a little mix of all the nose notes. 46% is a perfect abv. its biting without losing any smoothness. the finish is divine with the spice at the front and the sweetness at the back. empty glass smells like creamy espresso

General description

5 years makes all the difference for me on this compared to the 10yo. There's a sweetness not as apparent in the 20. I get Sherry on the back of the pallette in the finish

Nose

Sherry. Orange. Chocolate. Honey

Palate

Sherry, orange, cinnamon, spice. Smooth, sweet. Lovely.

Finish

Longer than the 10yo. Spice still wins out in the end.

General description

Sehr runder Whisky mit starker Sherry-Note. Die Abfüllug mit 46% Vol. gibt dem Whisky die nötige Tiefe und Komplexität.

Macht Spass und ist auch in Sache Preis- / Leistungsverhältnis sehr zu empfehlen. Ein wirklich toller Whisky.

Nose

Dunkle Früchte (rote Beeren), typische Sherry-Nase mit etwas herber Eiche im Hintergrund

Palate

Vollreife Kirsche, Vanille, süsse-saure Grundaromatik, danach tritt die Eiche hervor und bringt dunkle Schokolade und Andeutungen von Espresso nach vorne

Finish

Mittellanger Abgang, süsse Sherry-Note, sehr angenhm

Nase; Malz, Sherry, rote reife Früchte, Eichenvanille, mit einem Hauch Kräuter und Torfrauch. Geschmack; Wieder Malz, Sherry, rote reife Früchte, Vanille. Hinzu kommt etwas dunkle Schokolade mit Karamellfülle und ein gut eingebundene Pfefferton.
Der Abgang ist intensive und lang anhaltend.
Sollte in keiner gut sortierten Whiskybar fehlen.

General description

In my personal opinion this one is quite overrated. I like a lot of whiskys that were finished in Sherry casks, but having it in those casks for the whole time is a bit too much for my taste. And I always recognize a slightly soapy flavor. Definitely not my whisky.

General description

Very intense Glenfarclas, richer and wilder than the 21. Less complex means more defined in this case.

Nose

Just had the 21 and I must say that this one has a similar but heavier and darker nose. Dried figues and sultanas, also some dark cocoa and leather.

Palate

Powerful and spicy with strong tart oak and much sweetness.

Finish

Much oak in a long and warming finish with rich dark chocolate.

Sweet, smooth & sherry.

Nose

sherry soaked rasins& sultanas. light nutty hint towards end.

Palate

Again sherry soaked rasins& sultanas. light nutty hint towards end turning to a light smoke finish that lasts a fare while.

Finish

light nut and smoke intwined with the sweet sherry, interesting and nice, lasting, lingering end.
