Taster

Nose: Light notes of old leather, tangerines, wood spice and white pepper. Vanilla and mild floral notes. Relatively ‘quiet.’

Palate: More commanding on the palate than the nose, with vanilla and orchard fruits, turning to dried fruits and black tea.

Finish: Drying to quite bitter chocolate and oak tannins.

Comment: Not a ‘sherry bomb’ Glenfarclas by any means. Quite complex, but the finish is a little drier than might be expected.

Score: 8.2

Taster

Nose: Light and fruity on the nose with lovely peach and lemon notes.

Palate: Pleasing gentle flavours: lots of refreshing apple and citrus fruits.

Finish: A lingering honey sweet finish.

Comment: A juicy, fruity whisky, which belies its 18 years in the cask. Summer in a glass.

Score: 8.9
