New 2010 release. Tremendous value distillery botlling of the sherry matured Speyside single malt. This 40yo is a truly amazing whisky, so fresh and vibrant for an old whisky.

Winner 'International Wine & Spirit Competition' Silver 2010 Award.

Nose: Reminiscent of relaxing in an old leather armchair while eating walnuts and chocolate covered raisins. Palate: A sweet initial taste, orange segments dipped in liquid chocolate. Then a lovely flavour of burnt brown sugar at the back of the mouth. The dry finish oozes big tannins and more rich dark cocoa beans. Let the whisky breathe a little or add a drop or two of water to fully open up the dram.

Glenfarclas

Glenfarclas Distillery was established by Robert Hay in Speyside in 1836. John Grant purchased Glenfarclas in 1865 and it has remained in the ownership of the Grant family ever since. The interior of the visitor centre is stunning, the walls are lined with the original oak panels salvaged from a lounge on the liner SS Empress of Australia when she was scrapped 1952. Ace sherry casks underpin the ethos of Glenfarclas malt whisky, having released its first cask strength single malt way back in 1968 and in 1973 became the third to open a distillery visitor centre. Glenfarclas Distillery participates in the Spirit of Speyside whisky festival.
