What it’s like

Glenfarclas is a family Speyside distillery known for maturing almost all its whisky in oloroso sherry casks. Its seventeen-year-old is rich and balanced: dried fruit, spice, nuts and a very discreet hint of wood smoke, with a broad texture. It is an intermediate step between the fifteen and the twenty-one, and a classic, no-frills sherried malt.

Nose
Raisins, walnuts, candied orange and spice, with a hint of wood smoke.
Palate
Rich. Dried fruit, toffee, spice, toasted nuts and oak.
Finish
Long, warm, with spice and a dry hint of oak and walnuts.
