A 9 year old Glenfarclas from the distillery, at 60.5%. Raisin, chocolate and a dark spice fill the glass, with dried fruit, fig and walnut from the cask. Run by six generations of the Grant family since 1865, one of Scotch’s last independents. Its water rises from the granite of Ben Rinnes, above Ballindalloch. This is Glenfarclas’s deep, fruity Speyside style.

Description
A distillery release of Glenfarclas, a 9 year old, from 2007, cask 1845, at 60.5%, 411 bottles in all. Glenfarclas is a Speyside single malt drawn from the largest, direct fired stills in Speyside. It launched the 105 in 1968, one of the first cask strength single malts sold to the public. Direct firing chars the wash a little, lending the rich, nutty depth Glenfarclas is known for.
Distilled in copper pot stills, shaping a rich Speyside body with real weight. It was matured in an Oloroso sherry cask, the wood working deep into the malt. In these extractive early years the oak gives vanillin as vanilla and lactones as coconut over orchard fruit and a dark sugar. Vanillin and oak lactones from the wood lend vanilla and a soft coconut over the fruit. The cool, slow dunnage ageing loses little to evaporation, the spirit holding its depth.
Bottled at a cask strength 60.5%, it is deep and concentrated. A rich orchard sweetness and dark sugar, with dried fruit, fig and walnut from the cask. A baked apple and a warm cinnamon lift the middle. It finishes long, full and fruity. This is a deep, sherried Speyside single malt.
