Glenfarclas 17 Year

$123 @ Steve’s

**Price:** $99.99 at Total Wine in Houston, Texas **Setting:** Neat in a Glencairn, with a fat basset hound in my lap. **Color:** Straw **Nose:** Stewed apples and figs. Nice but somewhat muted. **Taste:** Delicious. Dried fruit, honey, caramel, orange peel and cinnamon. I could drink this all day. **Finish:** Medium-long. Sweet and oaky. Really pleasant. **Conclusion:** Glenfarclas 17 is delicious and well-balanced. The taste and finish are both solid, and it is a very easy drinker. It’s a really nice dram, although it is somewhat pricey, and as such, it doesn’t have great QPR. Probably my favorite Speyside iteration. **9/10**
