Glenfarclas 40 Year Old is a rare Speyside single malt aged entirely in sherry-seasoned oak casks. It offers a deep, layered profile with dried fruit, citrus, cocoa, and warm spice, all supported by rich oak and a long finish. A standout for collectors and serious connoisseurs seeking a contemplative dram.
Tasting Notes:
- Nose: Dried fruits (raisins, figs, dates), orange zest, cocoa, toffee, subtle leather, and gentle sherry spice.
- Palate: Silky and full-bodied; raisins and plum, fig, toffee, orange peel; cinnamon and nutmeg; pervasive oak.
- Finish: Long and warming, with continued fruit sweetness, chocolate, spice, and lingering oak.
