Tasting Notes – A Journey of Aroma and Flavor
Nose: Intense and deep sherry aroma with notes of dried fruits, dark chocolate, raisins, and hints of leather and tobacco. A subtle scent of roasted nuts and caramel rounds off the nose beautifully.
Palate: Full-bodied and complex with layers of dark cherries, figs, orange peel, and spices such as cinnamon and nutmeg. The alcohol is powerful yet balanced – a flavor explosion that evolves richly on the palate.
Finish: Long, warm, and spicy. The sherry notes linger alongside an elegant sweetness and a hint of oak and mocha.

Glenfarclas – True Scottish Tradition Since 1836
Glenfarclas is one of the few distilleries in Scotland that remains 100% family-owned. Since 1836, the Grant family has run the distillery in the heart of Speyside with a dedication to traditional pot still production, slow distillation, and maturation in top-quality sherry casks. This combination has made Glenfarclas a name known and loved worldwide for its deep, complex, and honest whisky.
