Glenfarclas 105 Cask Strength

Maybe I had high expectations but I barely enjoy this on the rocks. Straight it is too strong and has some kind of old tatse

A sinus burner - this one needs to sit in the glass for a while to calm down and open up. Then it reveals strong honey suckle, dried raisons, and candied orange lozenges. This translates into dates, prunes, and black currants smothered in dark honey on the palate. Next few sips add a hint of bitter cacao paste and liquorice to the mix. The finish is very warming with more dark dried fruits and lingering honey. Most reviews suggest adding water to this one. Add only a drop or two,no more! Too much water takes a rich and diverse experience and simplifies it into nothing more than honey prunes and pepper.

Old house aroma on the nose. Floral.and fruity.
