Rich and sherried 15yo malt from one of the best distilleries in Speyside. Aged for a little bit longer and bottled a little stronger for a more concentrated, richer flavour. As always, Glenfarclas remains one of the best-value malts on the market – a must for lovers of sherried whisky.

Tasting Notes

Tasting Notes

  • Tasting Notes by the Whisky Exchange

    • Nose

      Complex and full, with heather honey, sweet vanilla fudge and dark fruit – raisins and plums.

    • Palate

      Rich and oily texture, with layers of marzipan, fruity sherry and spicy cinnamon and ginger.

    • Finish

      Lingering with brown-sugar sweetness and fruit.

  • Producer's Notes by George Grant

    • Colour

      A rich golden amber.

    • Nose

      Complex, sherried, deliciously peated, light butterscotch aromas, with a hint of dried fruit.

    • Flavour

      Full bodied with super balance of sherried sweetness, malty tones and peaty flavours.

    • Finish

      Long lasting, gloriously sherried, sweet, gently smoky, and distinguished.

    • Comment

      With greater complexity than our younger whiskies, this is a great whisky drinker’s whisky. We bottle this at 46% simply because my grandfather preferred it at this strength. It’s still a family favourite.

  • Tasting Notes by Billy A

    • Nose

      Sugared raisins, honey and a big cinnamon spicy hit.

    • Palate

      Buttery with brown sugar, allspice, more cinnamon and the rest of the brown ground spices hiding at the back of the cupboard.

    • Finish

      Long, with sweet grapes, more spice, brown butter and the ever-present cinnamon tingle.

    • Comment

      The story goes that this is bottled at 46% as a nod to one of the earlier George Grants, who wanted to balance the taste of the whisky against getting enough out of a special Christmas release to go around the entire family. Whatever the reason, the higher strength gives this a bit more oomph, which along with the Christmas cake, dried fruit and spiciness makes this a fantastic winter dram, and an excellent sherried all-rounder.

    PJ,

    This is a decent sherried whisky which benefits from a higher ABV. Very drinkable but I've also had a sample of the 25yo, which was more well-rounded with a longer, better finish.
