Tasting Notes
"Don't fear the proof! The whisky is actually much gentler than you'd think. The nose is full of dark honey, pear, popcorn kernels, and butterscotch. The taste is intense and spicy before mellowing with char smoke around the ring of the whisky. Adding some water makes the dram a touch creamy and exposes some dried herbs. Glenfarclas 105 has a long finish on the palate."
