Glenfarclas 10 Year

Some call it lightweight, but all notes are in perfect definition for me, like HiFi. It just works for me. Good balance between sherried, (sweet) dryness and wood. All I ask for in this whisky. Doesn't seem too popular, but strangely enough I always come back for this one. Love the bottle. I try not to drink other whiskey's before this one; it's too delicate for that. I like to start the evening with a glass of Glenfarclas 10 yo (or cheaper 12yo) and let the others follow

This is an nice aperitif. You get small helpings of sweet and savory. The nose has sweet smoke, honey, tiny berry fruit, and vanilla malt. The palate is primarily honeyed fruit, smoked malt, biscuits, and dry wood. This reminds me a little of young whiskies from The Balvenie. Mostly due to the honey, biscuits and overall light profile.
