Glenfarclas 105 Cask Strength

Glenfarclas 105 Cask Strength, Speyside Single Malt, Scotland

Producer Tasting Note:

Colour: Deep peaty-gold. Nose: Complex, oaky, pear & apple, tempting dark toffee sweetness. Flavour: Dry and assertive, develops quickly to reveal a rich spiciness, combined with a hint of oak and sherried fruit. Finish: Amazingly smooth for the strength, wonderful warming with a lingering spiciness, yet very rounded.

Critical Acclaim:

"This Scotch is named for the proof (105) of a bottle that Chairman John Grant's father, George S. Grant, bottled in 1968 as a Christmas gift for family and friends. Nut-colored, it has a markedly bold toffee aroma and lots of flavor and drama. Hazelnut, espresso and cocoa flavors linger, with hints of allspice and drying oak tannins. Though it needs more than a splash of water to arrive at a nuanced sippability, don't hold that against this almost Bourbon-like beauty."

95/100 points, WINE ENTHUSIAST

"Sweet scents of Boston cream pie, citrus, and fresh forest, growing more fragrant as the liquid rests in the glass. On the palate, the citrus sweetens to baked orange tart and lemon meringue pie, with underpinnings of chocolate malt, raisins, and pepper spice. The mouthfeel is creamy and concentrated, and the finish is like a rich, full, spiced chocolate dessert. Water enhances things, bringing out more spice and chocolate."
