Nose

Walnut whip and sweetened Turkish coffee. Marrons glacés and a hint of cow gum glue. Plum and hoisin sauce. Polished teak.

Palate

Barrels over your palate with dry oloroso and warm oily woodiness in control. Extraordinarily easy to drink at full strength. Toasted coffee bean, figs, prunes, black fruits. Treacle toffee and liquorice spiciness curls around your tongue.

Finish

It has an express and lively warmth, and surprisingly short finish.

Comment

Powerful whisky with a velvet touch – those clever people at Glenfarclas do it again.
