- Description
- Glenfarclas's 13-year maturation finishing in a second-fill oloroso sherry hogshead was bottled by The Scotch Malt Whisky Society, presenting the distillery's core character filtered through aged sherry influence. Secondary sherry seasoning brings warm spice, dried fruit, and subtle leather notes while allowing Glenfarclas's naturally rich, honeyed character to remain prominent. The palate is well-integrated and full-bodied, with a warming finish of spice and oak. Suits those seeking a classic Speyside sherry expression with balance and refinement.
