Glenfarclas 105 Cask Strength Single Malt Scotch Whisky 700ml

Glenfarclas is renowned for producing Single Highland Malt Scotch Whisky in the traditional Speyside style, with a heavy sherry influence. The Glenfarclas 105 Cask Strength is an exceptional expression of the distillery's style; a great whisky holding all the flavours of all Glenfarclas whiskies in one glass. While bottling at cask strength does dictate that the 105 Cask Strength isn't for the faint of heart, the trademark smoothness of Glenfarclas assuages any trepidation one may have about an overpowering spirit wave typical of lesser cask strength whiskies. It simply does not exist here. A warming and inviting dram, don't be afraid of the strength and add a little water to fully explore the depth and nuances of this enticing and delightful expression.

"The youthful grape comes in clean, juicy bunches; the herbs and spices on a rack on the kitchen wall; any lovers of the old Jennings books will here do a Mr Wilkins explosive snort as the magnificent barley-grape mix is propelled with the force of dynamite into the taste buds; survivors of this experience still able to speak may mention something about cocoa notes forming; long luxurious with a pulsing vanilla grape mix and a build up of spices; light oils intensify and elongate; but I doubt if any restorative on the planet works quite as well as this one does. Or if any sherry cask whisky is so clean and full of the joys of Jerez. A classic malt which has upped a gear or two and has become exactly what it is: a whisky of pure brilliance."
