Glenfarclas is a family run distillery which is currently under the stewardship of the 6th successive generation of the Grant family. The distillery is currently celebrating their 175th anniversary and still employ traditional distillation methods including the use of the largest traditional direct-fired copper pot stills on Speyside.
In the glass is looks like dark golden honey
The nose gives off sweet sherry, orange peel, honey and vanilla.
It is smooth and delivers sherry soaked dried fruit, a smokey sweetness with vanilla and cinnamon.
The finish is medium long, spicy and lightly smokey.
A really nice entry level 10 year old Speyside.
Find where to buy Glenfarclas whisky
13 months on I am revisiting this Whisky and so used this old review. The old bottle has gone and been replaced by a new one. The new bottle has only been open a week. I still think my original score (76) was fair. I might nudge it to 77 or 78 but is that sentiment or science...?
I really like Glenfarclas as a whole. The 10 is pleasant. The dry, spicy oak, the sherry, orange and vanilla all mix well but it's not as good as the 15. If you are on a budget buy this (or a great gift suggestion) but if you can afford to stretch slightly get the 15 you wont be disappointed.
