Glenfarclas 40 Year Old Bottling Note A much adored expression here - 40 year old single malt Scotch whisky from the legendary Glenfarclas, offering up generous helpings of Sherried notes that the distillery are famous for. Bottled at 43% ABV, and presented alongside a handsome box reminiscent of the iconic doors of Glenfarclas' warehouse. Whisky Advocate: 95 (2010 Scotch Whisky Single Malt of the Year) Whisky Notes: 91 WhiskyBase (average score): 91 DrinkHacker: A Distiller: 94 All Things Whisky: 92.5 Whisky Israel: 93 Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt Nose: Dense dark chocolate, cigar box and raisin as it opens, before hints of old oak furniture start to develop (some leather notes here, too!). After a few minutes, touches of Cognac-like rancio appear. Palate: Continuing Christmas Cake elements, and a pinch of tobacco remains as well. Chocolate orange brownies, coffee beans and chewy dried fruit adds to the richness. Sparks of cinnamon and black pepper in the background, bringing a comforting warmth to the palate. Finish: A long finish, boasting thick notes of Sherry and butterscotch. Seville orange marmalade and ginger develop later. shipping insured by postn/flespakket.nl
