A wonderfully sherried 15 year old dram from Glenfarclas, boasting dried fruit notes. It’s bottled at 46% ABV simply because this was the strength that owner George Grant’s grandfather preferred it at. Happily, this also results in the a big, juicy, Christmas cake profile. A fabulously complex Scotch while also being easily drinkable.

Tasting Notes

Nose: Intense, powerful sherry. Cream sherry, certainly – Pedro Ximenez? almost… a touch of peppermint? 

Palate: Raisins, more sherry, orange peel, walnuts, dates.

Finish: Incredibly long, complex, more of the walnuts again.

Overall: Water draws out sweetness. This is Christmas cake, not whisky. Simply astonishing.

Country: Highland, Scotland 

ABV: 46%
