- Description
- Speyside's Glenfarclas-Glenlivet from the 1970s remains an enigma with its Sherried and Old Wood whispers. At 8 years old, the whisky boasts an impressive 60% ABV. With a price tag of £500, it's either a rare gem or an extravagant gamble. A user once said it has profound notes of Honey, yet the lack of ratings leaves it open to interpretation.
