Earthy. Autumnal. Rain on the forest floor. A smoky peat fire somewhere in the distance.
Palate
Big, firm, cereal-grain nuttiness. Develops a lot of sweetness, then a balance of floweriness.
Finish
Intense. Honey, shrubs and reeds. Mustardy.
Comment
Judging from the colour, as well as aroma and flavour, this is Glenfarclas without its dressing of sherry. Having removed its jacket and necktie, it appears more muscular and aggressive.
