Glenfarclas Family Cask 2003
Nose: Sherry
soaked sultanas, toffee apples, mixed candied peel, orange zest, muscavado
sugar, mixed spice, toasted almonds, Waitrose madeira loaf cake, a Divine
orange milk chocolate bar, freshly rolled marzipan, charred oak, fennel fronds,
a sun-drenched leather wing tip armchair, red candy dummy’s and a stick of rock
from a British seaside pier.
Palate: Bassett’s
Cherry Drops, Seville orange marmalade, Oloroso sherry, stewed prunes, chocolate
coated sultanas, toasted oak, clove and liquorice infused caramel, Hotel
Chocolat dark ginger puddles, Toblerone fruit and nut, toffee sauce from a
McDonalds ice cream sundae and a ground or two of white pepper.
Finish: A gargantuanly
glorious, full on spiced fruitcake of a finish, that lingers and lounges long
into the night.
Summary: Yet
another fabulously fine and frolicking farclas. The term ‘limited edition’ can be somewhat loosely and over used in the world of whisky to say the least, but on this occasion it's very much the case as their are only 333 bottles available. So you’d better be quick off the
mark if you want one!
