Glenfarclas 105 Single Malt Whisky

Product Information

A dash of this whisky can be great in baking, compote, and desserts. Its sweetness and strength work well there. Nose: Intense, powerful sherry. Cream sherry, certainly – Pedro Ximenez? almost… a touch of peppermint? An almost rancio quality to this. Smells older than 15. This is a complex and elegant whisky. Sweet dried fruit, vanilla cream, cinnamon, baking spices and a drying oak all dance together. The flavors and smells are rich and warm, owing to the high strength. Its flavor profile is best suited to a cold winter night. Being Jewish i cannot confirm whether it tastes like christmas but many people say it does.

In the mouth: Comparatively young tasting, with the most overt wood influence of the trio. There’s a hint of turmeric before the middle of the palate is dominated again by the smoky caramelized sugar flavor of campfire marshmallows. This transitions to the finish, which lingers moderately with some spicy wood accents, but is the least pronounced of the three. ConclusionWhat more can you ask for : single malt at 60%+ sherry cask maturation not finishing + very affordable 1L bottle, can't go wrong with 105.

Nice review. I, too, like the 21 year old quite a lot, and the 30 even more, though it’s a rather painful step up in price. Interestingly, the photos you show here indicate that the 25 year old bottling was pre-2009; the other two following the required labelling changes of SWR 2009. I’m sure that affects what’s in the bottle, though it’s unclear if these were the actual bottles from which your review arose. A little water and a second sip; you can calm your own senses down and not fear of the punch in the face from this dram. Like the nose, it’s quieter with a touch of water and a bit more rounded. Less of that alcohol blast. It’s sweet, but I can’t seem to get past or shake the youthful element of this whisky. Not a lot more to add to the taste when water is added. Conclusions: To me, this bottle, 1 peaty island scotch, and 1 good bourbon can really constitute a solid "collection".
