General description

"Базовый из серьезных"- входной билет в мир реального виски и сингл молтов в частности - плосковато-грубоват, но показательно-классичен

General description

Sweetness, significant spiciness, fruitiness /apples and pears/, sultanas, vanilla, caramel, lemon zest, lime bitterness, little touch of oak. Shorter and little bit dry aftertaste. Lighter profile than I expected, I really can not find pronounced sherry cask influence. Nice drinking.

43 30 Заурядный виски, даже нечего и выделить. Пустоват во всем. Пару глотков и больше пить не хочется, отталкивает. Один из наихудших синглмолтов.

The initial review is that it has a good balance of ABV and approachability. It is a nice sweet sherry with mineral notes.

Spice, bile, vanilla, somewhat floral, somewhat brown sugar, fades to plastic.

General description

Beautiful colour & nose, oily on the glass, medium bodied, very flavoursome!
Significant sherry, light spirit, toffee and a medium-long, pleasant finish. I got a hint of butterscotch & ginger spice, a tiny hint of smoke.👍 Happy I purchased the 1 litre version. Winner:

Nose

Sweet, delicate, sherry

Palate

Woody, nutty, honey, winey, viscous! Very obvious sherry!

Finish

Med to long, oaky sweetness, a benign hint of smoke!

Revisiting, the nose is still pretty harsh. And it's still a feisty, spicy flavour at first, but a rather dry and kinda nasty bitter, not too pleasant finish..
Kind of disappointed with this one, the ratings had me expecting more. Still not a fan..

General description

Couldnt pass on 50ml sample bottles for $1.69 each.
At first the nose was, as best I can describe, salted, smoked apricot, it took a good 20-25 minutes in the glass to relax and let the sherry and dark stone fruits come out and play, the palate is buttery and a little viscous with salty, smokey dark stone fruits, the finish is warm and longish,

General description

better (because a bit more sophisticated) than the 10 years old, especially because of the late sweetness

Nose

wood and a bit peat, sherry and a hint of raising dark chocolate notes

Palate

extremely strong start, but then it turns into a nicely balanced whisky with sherry and tiny peat flavours, the dark chocolate is more obvious now, oddly enough the mouthfeel cannot decide if it is dry or creamy, the longer the dram stays in the glass the sweeter it becomes

Finish

strong at the back sides of the tongue, very long and warm all the way down to the stomach

Nice dram from Glenfaclas. Sherry all the way through from nose to palate and into the finish. If you make it through the sherry there are good flavors hiding behind making this well worth the time. Looking forward to enjoying this bottle.

Honey, raisins and sherry influenced nose. Sherry is definitely present on the palate and a touch of smoke as well. The finish is long, dry and a bit spicy with again notes of sherry. Highly recommended considering the price for a 1L bottle is around €30,-
