Glenfarclas 35 Year Old 43% 70cl Distillery 291Glenfarclas 35 Year Old 43% 70cl A thrilling bottling from family owned Speyside distillery Glenfarclas, and a highly sought after one, too. Distilled back in 1986 and matured in Spanish oak sherry casks, it was eventually released in 2021. It offers an elegant take on the signature fruit cake, dark chocolate and cinnamon notes that the maker is renowned for.

Nose: Stone fruit

Finish: The coastal influence presents itself in a saltiness in the finish

Made from both Concerto and Laureate barley peated to at least 78PPM and a 72-hour fermentation with Pinnacle MG yeast

Nose: With a rich and opulent fruity nose

When we say that Orkney Islands is the name used for independently bottled Highland Park

this dram lingers nicely

Nose: Complex and earthy with toasted oak notes

a hint of melon sweetness

This is not a whisky of brute power

Mouth-wateringly complex

with a surprising sweetening richness at the finish

pineapple chunks with a dash of soft pepper peeping through
