Description
An 11 year old Glenfarclas from Whiskydudes, distilled in 2011, from cask 800480, at 58.6%, one of 79 bottles. Glenfarclas is a Speyside single malt drawn from the largest, direct fired stills in Speyside. Its slow, cool dunnage maturation loses very little to the angels each year.
The spirit was run slowly off the spirit still, for the rich, sherried make Glenfarclas is known for. An ex-Bourbon barrel shaped it, vanillin and a soft coconut under the malt. By the integrating teens the raw notes fade and esters build, the rich spirit growing rounder and darker. The wood frames the spirit without ever stripping the full Speyside body. The full spirit deepens with time, the cask drawing out its darker register. Maturation runs slow and even in the dunnage warehouses at Ballindalloch. Active wood drives the maturation, the cask deep in the malt.
At its natural 58.6% it is rich and chewy. Fig, walnut and a bittersweet chocolate, lifted by a sweet oak. Dried fruit and a treacle sit behind the spice. A long finish carries raisin, chocolate and a treacle. This is a full bodied Speyside single malt of real richness.
