Description
A Glenfarclas, a distillery bottling, at 45%, 7680 bottles in all. Glenfarclas is a richly sherried Speyside single malt, run by the Grant family since 1865. Its slow, cool dunnage maturation loses very little to the angels each year. Direct firing chars the wash a little, lending the rich, nutty depth Glenfarclas is known for. It launched the 105 in 1968, one of the first cask strength single malts sold to the public.
The spirit was taken gently through wash and spirit stills, for the rich, sherried make Glenfarclas is known for. Maturation came in ex-Bourbon wood, the oak gentle behind the spirit. With no age statement, vanillin reads as vanilla and oak lactones as coconut over the rich, fruity spirit. Maturation runs slow and even in the dunnage warehouses at Ballindalloch. The wood frames the spirit without ever stripping the full Speyside body. Active wood drives the maturation, the cask deep in the malt.
Reduced to 45%, it is mellow and sweet. A rich, sherried sweetness, lifted by a sweet oak. The body is full and rich, the fruit deep and dark. It finishes long, full and fruity. This is a full bodied Speyside single malt of real richness.
