I have some years navigating my whisky adventure and i have tasted a lot of expressions from different distilleries, and the fact that i never tasted a Glenfarclas 15yo before is embarrasing for me.
A true speyside classic, Glenfarclas sits in the same table of some other famous single malts from the same scottish region. Of course i expected some of the traditional tasting and aroma notes from this distillery.
Bottled at 46%abv, This is a sherried matured whisky.
On the nose, i got prunes, the typical glenfarclas apple note and cooked pineapple. Pretty nice.
On the palate, the first note that appeared was sugar, sider and that apple profile that makes Glenfarclas unmistakeable.
Aftertaste is all about milk and sugar notes with delicious red apples.
Overall, this is exactly what you expect from a core range Glenfarclas. Nothing to die for, a properly done, average speyside dram. It will be enjoyable a 100% of the time, and you can use this one as an everyday single malt. My score system says 80 over 100, and i think that it is a precise score for a classic.
