Glenfarclas 17 Year Old Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky
SKU #500673
Hints of oak, complexity but finely balanced. Combines the smoothness of our younger whiskies with the greater depth of some of Glenfarclas older expressions.
WHISKY ADVOCATE RATING: 90
WHISKY ADVOCATE REVIEW:
Weighty and deep. Instantly seductive: vanilla pod, rich fruits, the smell of fur coats. A femme fatale of a malt. A base of crisp malt mixes with oak to give balance and structure. Water brings out apple leaf, even a little grassiness. The palate is broad and balanced, with real sweetness and a tongue-coating quality which softens to dried fruit, earthy density, with a whiff of smoke. Redolent with the aroma of a dunnage warehouse. A class act.
WINE ENTHUSIAST RATING: 93
WINE ENTHUSIAST REVIEW:
This is a perfect match for the season’s gingerbreads and spice cakes. Look for a warm, toasted-brioche aroma and pronounced flavors of vanilla, oak, dried figs, clove and allspice.
Color is a rich amber. On the nose complex, with distinctive butterscotch, sherried fruit and peat smoke aromas. On the palate big, full-flavored, with excellent balance, develops slowly, full of sherry sweet malty tones, and a touch peat smoke. The finish is long lasting and smooth, with a hint of spice and sherry sweetness.
