Note di degustazione
Family-owned Speyside distillery Glenfarclas is one of only a handful of producers in Scotland to remain independent. Initially released to mark their 180th anniversary of licensed distillation, this 40-Year-Old is a remarkable single malt. Crystal-clear spring water is combined with the finest malted barley before it is twice-distilled in traditional, direct-fired copper pot stills. Two-thirds of the new-make is matured in Sherry casks and the remaining third slumbers in plain oak casks. Forty years later, the resulting liquid is autumn gold and deliciously complex.

Glenfarclas has a proven track record for aging very well. I've enjoyed some amazing 25 and 30 year old expressions, in addition to some older vintage offerings. Does this new 40 year old follow suit? Absolutely! It's complex and well-rounded, with great depth and no excessive oak. Lush, candied citrus (especially orange), old pot still rum, maple syrup, fig, roasted nuts, and polished leather, with hints of mocha, candied ginger, and tobacco. A bit oily in texture (which I find soothing) with good tannic grip on the finish. A classic, well-matured Glenfarclas — and a very good value for its age. (Editor's Choice)
