Glenfarclas 105 Cask Strength
Single Malt — Highlands, Scotland
Reviewed July 3, 2023 (edited October 6, 2023)The nose has honey and butterscotch. Relatively mild for 60% abv creamy texture and burnt char oak and not very sweet but has caramel and vanilla flavors. The finish is long with sourdough flavors and chocolate malts. -
The nose is more enticing than the oroginal bottle which is finished in cedar cask for less time. Strong scents of vibrant oak, orange zest and honey. The pallate comes in hot and strong even for 48%. The oak os overbearing with citrus flavors. The finish is astringent and botter from the strong cedar casks and sails off in the sunset woth some vanillas flavors. This is a bit of a messy dram that is a roller coaster of a ride. There is probably a readon why cedar isnt used very often to age spirits.

The nose has gentle oak scents with vanilla in the background along with raspberries and strawberry. Vanilla kicks back in on the pallate as some of the dark fruits notes come in. Not overpowering at all for a finishing whiskey. Medium finish that brings out orange zest and caramel. Pretty enjoyable for the price and finished in brandy barrels.

The nose has a sweet rye grain scents with oak and vegetal smell probably from the teauila finish. Thos is a hot whoskey, more so than most others even at this high abv. I usually dont add water bit on this one o really needed to even though it didn’t help much. When i addad a few drops of water the tequila finish was more pronounced becoming noticeable on the finish. Pretty interesting whiskey, bit not one im going to be reaching for very often. Its more fun to know what a rye whiskey foniahed in tequila barrels tastes like.
