With greater complexity than our younger whiskies, this is a great whisky drinker’s whisky. We bottle this at 46% simply because my grandfather preferred it at this strength. It’s still a family favourite. Described as a great whisky drinker’s whisky, this 15 year old Glenfarclas from the family-run distillery is bottled at 46% abv simply because the owner’s grandfather preferred it that way. The nose is complex with sherry, peat, butterscotch and a hint of dried fruit. The palate delivers a full-bodied well-balanced sweetness with malty tones and peaty flavours. The finish is long and satisfying with sweet and smoky aspects coming through.
