Intro: This bottle is the next to be replaced in my scotch cabinet, so I figured I would review it before it goes.
Nose: barley, burnt honey, touch of apple
Palate: honey, caramel, melon, clove
Finish: thin and fast with some honey crisp apple
Overall: This is a pretty tasty whisky and my introduction to Glenfarclas. I really like the caramel and burnt honey notes in this dram which are usually attributed to the fact that Glenfarclas uses a direct fire to heat their stills as opposed to steam. Very good whisky who’s only real flaw is the bottling strength. All the flavors in this whisky were good, but slightly thin and faded. I would love to try this bottled at 46% or higher and see what a proper twelve year old Glenfarclas tastes like!
