Glenfarclas 10yr
Whisky : Scottish
Description
Glenfarclas Distillery, located in Speyside, is one of the few remaining family-owned distilleries in Scotland, run by the Grant family since 1865. The distillery is known for its commitment to traditional methods, including direct-fired stills and a strong emphasis on sherry cask maturation.
This approach gives Glenfarclas whiskies a recognisable house style - rich yet balanced, with a focus on dried fruit, malt sweetness, and gentle spice rather than peat or heavy oak influence. The 10-Year-Old sits at the lighter end of the range, offering an accessible introduction to this classic Speyside profile.
Colour:
Golden amber with warm, inviting tones.
Nose:
Light and fragrant, showing honey, malted barley and soft dried fruit, with hints of spice and a touch of nuttiness.
Palate:
Light to medium-bodied with a smooth, rounded texture. Flavours of toffee, gentle spice and dried fruit develop alongside a soft malt backbone. The sherry influence is present but restrained.
Finish:
Clean and moderately long, with lingering sweetness and a subtle warming spice.
