Description
This official Glenfarclas, at 40%. Glenfarclas is a richly sherried Speyside single malt, run by the Grant family since 1865. Its spirit is matured almost wholly in sherry butts brought up from Jerez. It was licensed in 1836 under Robert Hay and bought in 1865 by John Grant for 511 pounds. Direct firing chars the wash a little, lending the rich, nutty depth Glenfarclas is known for. It draws on that deep inventory for the Family Casks, single vintages reaching back to the 1950s.
It was run slowly off the spirit still, shaping a rich Speyside body with real weight. It rested in ex-Bourbon oak, oak lactones lending a creamy vanilla. Without an age statement, a dark sugar and dried fruit point to good years in cask. Maturation runs slow and even in the dunnage warehouses at Ballindalloch. The full spirit deepens with time, the cask drawing out its darker register. The wood frames the spirit without ever stripping the full Speyside body.
At an approachable 40% it is soft and fruity. A deep, dark sweetness, lifted by a sweet oak. A baked apple and a warm cinnamon lift the middle. The finish runs long, full and warming. This is the family sherry malt of Ballindalloch.
