Glenfarclas has quickly became a personal favorite after leanring this is a private distillary and deciding to try their products. I enjoyed the 12 so much I wanted to find a older age statement (at a very fair price) and so here we are.
I get a marshmellowy creme brulee on the nose with a vanilla and orange hint. You get the feeling this would go great after a savory meal. Palate is a whirlwind of fruits from different seasons. Orange, apple, candied cherry with a woodsy flavor I would think of around Chrstmas time.
While this is a fun (and affordable!) drinker with an old age statement I do not think I would stock on a regular basis. Regarldess of a great deal on age I need to fall in love with a whisky for the $150+ pricepoint. I really enjoy haveing friends try it as an older speyside example but I'll stick to the 12 next time i'm hunting for a Glenfarclas.

@cascode for whatever reason I’m having trouble finding the 10. You are not the first person to recommend this to me. Hopefully I’ll be able to add it soon to experience it
@consamp The 12 is one of my favourite whiskies. A lot of folks bypass it and go for the 15 or older expressions (which are great, sure) but there is magic in the 12 (and in the 10)
