Glenfarclas 30 year old, 43%
Price: ● Issue: Fall 2022 ● Reviewer: Jonny McCormick ● Category: Single Malt Scotch
The nose suggests this is a huge, effusive whisky through aromas of flamed orange disc, peel oils, baking spices, triple sec, mango, dark chocolate, passion fruit, and walnut shells. Yet the texture is elegant and light, with warm orange, citrus peel, nuts, and marzipan fruits showing skillful restraint regarding the sherry influence over the years. A finish of citrus, wood spices, oak char, and roasted peppercorn.
