- Description
- Matured in oloroso sherry casks for 26 years, this Glenfarclas embodies the silky, fruity profile that has defined the distillery's reputation. Rich notes of fruitcake, hazelnuts, and dried fruit meld with hints of coffee and dark chocolate, underpinned by the sweetness that sherried Speyside is known for. At 47.3% ABV, the spirit carries enough weight to balance the cask's influence without overwhelming it. A benchmark sherried Speysider for those who appreciate maturity and complexity.
