Glenfarclas 105 Cask Strength

Nose: slight heat, butterscotch, dark honeyed pear. Light cinnamon. Dark sticky earthy sherry. Palate: smoother than the 60% ABV would have you believe. Has just a slight heat to it. Instense spice. Caramel/caramel apple. Sherry fruit. I feel like this is not as sickly sweet as the 12. An absolute gorgeous dram. Finish: honeyed sherried malt, oak. Warming.

One of my first cask strength bottles. It's really hot when poured neat, maybe a bit too hot for my liking. Adding water to an abv of 50ish helps unlock the sweeter notes for me. It does have a nice long finish. Overall not exactly what I'm looking for in a scotch, but can't complain about the value considering the price and abv

Classic Speyside that benefits greatly from the increased ABV. Drink it neat and marvell at the lack of burn despite the high alcohol content.
