Glenfarclas 25 Years Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky, 70cl

Product Information

F: Extremely long, complex, delicious, and with a zest that stings the tongue perfects and with a tartness that is quite pleasing, which then fades to a rich sweet butteriness with hints of chocolate. All of these are so much more layered, textured, and variegated than anything coming out of Macallan these days. Each one is an overachiever for the age and price, with the 21 year old being the best value for money among the three. They’re sherried, but not sherry bombs given the relatively low bottling strength. The subtlety works in their favor, allowing some novel nuances to come to the fore.

Taste - Fruity and sour arrival with strawberry and raspberry and more of that 'young' note. Develops into bitter chocolate and oak. On the nose: Candied nuts, lime juice, zucchini bread, roasted marshmallows, green grapes, whole cloves, and a gently smoky-woody note that tips into a green astringency.Whiskybase B.V. is the Dutch private limited liability company, having its statutory seat in Rotterdam, The Netherlands and its office at Zwaanshals 530, 3035 KS Rotterdam, The Netherlands.

Sherry, sherry, sherry... but despite all this sweetness up front the nose can only be described as gentle. Raisins and a touch of freshly cut wood. Yes, this Farc is downright amazing, but I might like the 21 more. Call it oddly compelling in a malty zen-like way. I have not tasted them side by side so I can't say for sure, but my memories from last winter of the 21 are hauntingly compelling. It just seemed more metaphysically "deep" whereas the 25 was moving in the direction of sherry intensity in a more commonly "scotchy" way. This said, it was much more "grown up" way than Aberlour A'bunadh, for instance, which is understandable because of the age difference. The 21 still has my allegiance, and I can't quite explain why.

The 25 is upfront in its designs on your senses. I might almost say "uncomplicated" in a very good way. It is not a perplexingly complex dram, but it is supremely satisfying and chimerical. N: sherry, sophisticated array of sugars and the malt. The sense strain to assign metaphors and similes. The nose is certainly powerful, I can sit it on the table in front of me more than a yard away and within a minute I will start getting tantalising wafts! But for all it's strength, it's not overwhelming at all. Really complex, full of nuts, honey, citrus, sherry smoke, a hint of fruitcake overlying a constant note of peat. Superbly balanced. So good I am hesitant to taste it as it can't possibly taste as good as it smells!

My mind immediately went to Speyside, specifically to sherried malts. I personally enjoy this flavor profile. More importantly, I find it appeals to the palate of the casual Scotch drinker, someone for whom a glass of whisky is an occasional indulgence rather than an everyday treat. Speaking in broad generic terms, the fruity and nutty richness corresponds to what people think of when they think of “good whisky.” I requested this as a gift for my 40th earlier this year after enjoying a few other Glenfarclas' in my time, the 15 and 105 in particular, and low and behold, here we are! Bottle's been open for just over three months and it's down to the top of the label. Review is neat but sat for 30+ minutes. Glenfarclas offers a diverse range of whiskies to cater to varying tastes and preferences. From their approachable 10 year old expression, which introduces newcomers to the distillery's style, to their older and rarer releases like the 25, 30, and 40 year old whiskies, each bottling showcases the mastery of Glenfarclas' distillers.
