Glenfarclas 15 Year

honey sweet toffee

Nose - Cooked apples, dark honey, orange zest, ginger, apricot glazed apple danish, brown sugar. Taste - Honey baked apples, orange zest, ginger spice, light golden raisin sweet, subtle metallic fruit. Finish - Gentle pleasant ginger warmth, honey apple danish, light metallic apple/grape juice. Score - 81/100 Final Thoughts - So the slightly higher proof here might have balanced out the younger age and it helped get rid of any off-putting bitter notes. What's strange is there's this weird metallic note I get like this has been vatted/stored in a metal vat for too long & has picked up that slight metallic vibe. I guess the strong point for Glenfarclas might be higher proof, heavily sherried, or older age to get rid of this metallic taste. Would I drink it if offered? - Yes Would I specifically order it? - No Would I buy a bottle? - No
