A remarkably well-priced addition to the Glenfarclas range, this 40 year-old has been simply-packaged in line with the rest of the standard bottlings from the distillery, and has been bottled at the perfect drinking strength of 43%. A 40yo sherried Speyside designed for drinking rather than sitting on a mantlepiece or in a display cabinet - bravo.
This spectacular Glenfarclas 40 Years Old was launched during the Spirit of Speyside Whisky Festival 2010. The whisky is not only is it absolutely astonishing, it is also amazing value for money, offering all of the sherried Glenfarclas character and exceptional maturity too. It was awarded a score of 95/100 by the Malt Advocate magazine, and a very well-merited Gold Medal at the Malt Maniacs Awards 2010.
Tasting Note:
Nose: Dense dark chocolate, cigar box and raisin as it opens, before hints of old oak furniture start to develop (some leather notes here, too!). After a few minutes, touches of Cognac-like rancio appear.
Palate: Continuing Christmas Cake elements, and a pinch of tobacco remains as well. Chocolate orange brownies, coffee beans and chewy dried fruit adds to the richness. Sparks of cinnamon and black pepper in the background, bringing a comforting warmth to the palate.
Finish: A long finish, boasting thick notes of Sherry and butterscotch. Seville orange marmalade and ginger develop later.
