Glenfarclas 25 Year Old

Also from a sample.

Nose: Sweet and salty. The sweetness is a bit non-descript, but seems to hover between rum and typical oxidative sherried whisky. The salt is part soy and part stale red wine, but in a good way, strangely. A bit of coffee cake with a thin layer of strawberry preserves on top.

Palate: Not watery, but a bit cool and quiet. Really just showing a bit of fruit, strawberries, lingonberries, and maybe Gran Marnier for a hint of chocolate liqueur with a trace of bitter orange extract. Not terribly complicated or dense, and a rather light and straightforward sherry.

Finish: A little short, maybe verging on medium in length. There's a slightly off-note there, sulfur? Usually that doesn't bother me, but it just sticks out a bit. That's more on the tail anyway. Still, strawberry jam and orange extract, and also a bit of coffee and unsweetened dense cake. B (83)
