Glenfarclas – 25 Year Old Quarter Cask

This is a 25 year old single malt from Glenfarclas, matured in quarter casks. The whisky is amber in colour. The nose is very meaty, with a faint earthiness, mushrooms and leather. The palate is peppery, with orange marmalade, quince jelly and plenty of sultanas, and it has good body and mouthfeel. The finish is medium to long, candied and jammy enough to bring hints of dark rum, with cloves and juniper berries in the aftertaste.
