Glenfarclas 25 Year

Nose: light brown sugar, pear, fruits, caramel, sherry wood but not overwhelming for something sitting in the cask for 25 hrs. Palate: sherry wood spiciness, ginger, full, moderately sweet, a bit of cigar at the end. Not overly complex but smooth. Finish: medium finish, warm, dry, a little bitter but pleasantly presented. 88/100 Very very good scotch and for the price for a 25 yrs old, it’s a steal

Has a bit of a peaty after taste unexpected. Good but not great.

Jam, honey, spicy, chocolate, anis nuts, complex actually ! Palate chocolate, coffee, oak, bitter, spices, sherry, fruits, intense Very good

Nose is sweet raisin and chocolate, a nice freshness though not quite vegetal, and a sherry undertone that also brings some nice aged malt and wood notes. Tasting gives more of the same although the freshness gets replaced by a musty tobacco which dominates the very long finish.
