Glenfarclas 15 Year Old Highland Single Malt Whisky

Glenfarclas remains one of the last truly independent, family-owned distilleries in Scotland, and is also notable for its widespread use of Sherry butts at a time when the cost of such European oak casks is extremely high. The Speyside distillery was established in 1836, and has belonged to the Grant family since 1865. Glenfarclas markets a comparatively wide core range of aged expressions, from 10 to 30 years old, and the 10-year-old exhibits a nose of rich Christmas cake, featuring most notably Sherry, raisins, nuts and spices. A background hint of smoke is also present.
