Drying and rich it makes for a superb dram, one the Malt Maniacs rated as the best „Bang for your buck“ whisky in 2004.

Finish: Medium length and delicate, with sherried fruit and gentle spice carrying through the close. This is supported by reviewed tasting notes and partly inferred from the style.

An all-time classic, Glenfarclas 25yo is the epitome of long-aged sherried Speyside, gorgeously smooth and silkily-textured, with rich, generous flavours of fruitcake, hazelnuts, dried fruit and a hint of dark chocolate and coffee. A thoroughly delightful dram.
Quite rightly seen as a benchmark for well aged Sherry Cask matured whisky. Most distilleries scaled back production in the 1970’s and 80’s, but the Grant family had the foresight to keep the stills running. As a result, they have access to some of the best stocks of old whisky in the business, and are able to offer them at jaw droppingly reasonable prices.
Superb single malt from the Glenfarclas distillery, aged for 30 years. Three decades of maturation have resulted in a fantastically full-bodied, satisfyingly Sherried and all-around awesome flavour profile. Now presented with a box designed as an homage to the unmistakable red door of the Glenfarclas warehouse.
The 2016 release of Glenfarclas 40 Year Old, presented in a box styled on the distillery’s warehouse doors. This is a classic sherried Glenfarclas, with notes of Christmas cake, dark chocolate and orange.
