Nose: Light cream sherry, herbal, hints of overripe fruit and butter Palate: Sherry, Christmas cake, orange zest, walnut, dark dried fruits Finish: Medium long. More sherry, dried fruit, orange peel, dates, walnuts and almonds. The aftertaste has a pleasantly souring note. For many years, Glenfarclas 15 has been a front of shelf dram. In my opinion, this is the star of the core range (although probably tied with the 25). It’s an easy drinking 46% and doesn’t need any dilution. A strongly Oloroso sherried, slightly herbal, nutty dram. My only, fairly minor, criticisms are that it’s a little thin on the palate and, while it has some complexity on the finish, it’s a one trick pony on the nose and palate. However, that’s really just nitpicking - this is a very pleasant wee dram.
