What it’s like

The eight-year-old is the youngest malt in the range from Glenfarclas, the family Speyside distillery that matures almost all its whisky in oloroso sherry casks. It is lighter than the ten-year-old, but it already shows the house style: dried fruit, malt, spice and a touch of nuts. No smoke. It is an affordable way to get to know Glenfarclas sherry.

Nose
Raisins, malt, caramel and a touch of walnuts and spice.
Palate
Smooth. Dried fruit, toffee, cereal, spice and light oak.
Finish
Medium, somewhat dry, with spice and a hint of dried fruit.
