Description
An 8 year old Glenfarclas, a distillery bottling, at 40%. Glenfarclas is a deep, dark Speyside malt of dried fruit, nut and spice. It holds some sixty eight thousand casks on site in dunnage warehouses, with stock from every year since 1953. It draws on that deep inventory for the Family Casks, single vintages reaching back to the 1950s.
Taken gently through wash and spirit stills, for the rich, sherried make Glenfarclas is known for. A refill bourbon hogshead held it, keeping the full character to the fore. Young and extractive, the cask sheds vanillin and toasted sugars over the full, fruity spirit. The full spirit deepens with time, the cask drawing out its darker register. Vanillin and oak lactones from the wood lend vanilla and a soft coconut over the fruit. Active wood drives the maturation, the cask deep in the malt. Long ageing turns the fresh notes towards date, prune and a dark, bittersweet chocolate.
At 40% it is rich, fruity and deep. Orange, raisin and a treacle edge, lifted by a sweet oak. Dried fruit and a treacle sit behind the spice. The close is rich and dark, fruit over a warm spice. This is a rich Speyside malt of dried fruit and nut.
