Tasting Notes
"The wood and grass of the Glenfarclas whisky becomes more noticeable with age and the spices deepen and tickle the nose. The sherry, honey, and vanilla also become larger with age with sugary tones soothing the senses. The spices build beautifully on the palate, with the fruits from the cask relaxing much of the oak and resin that threatens to rise. The sweetness is encouraged by the grass notes to appear and the finish is of medium-length with sherry spices to bring the experience to a close."
