    Allways been fond of glenfarclas, partly because it is the last family owned distillery in scotland, but also for the quality of their malts. My favourite has been the 105 ever since i first tasted it… read more

    After hearing some rave reviews of this US-release bottle, I decided to go in for it and try it out. Sometimes, there's nothing like a great, old sherry wonder. I've been going through this bottle faster… read more

    We Yanks don’t have access to the highly praised Glenfarclas 15 year old, so we have to content ourselves with its younger and older siblings. The 12 and 17 yo’s are closest in age, and I find myself … read more

    What a cracker! In my review of the Glenfarclas 10 year old I mentioned how the distillery is a family business that is currently in the hands of the 6th successive generation. When drinking this I really… read more
