Tasting Notes by Anonymous

Nose: heather, vanilla, tea, distant sherry, smoke up in the nose

Body: round, mellow, like a wave in the back of my troat

Palate: sherry, malt, honey, nutty, peaty, long-lasting finale.

Every single malt kind of taste different and this one is no exception. The new release from Glenfarclas of their 15 yo is absolutely superb - fabulous combination of malt nuttiness, sherry, peat and a lingering woody final. No joke this is one of the best 15yo out there and probably one of the best in the Glenfarclas range (except the 21 and 25 yo which are both outstanding).

Finally, this single malt is Christmas cake big time and one of my preferred whisky of the Holidays.

I have not tried the 15 year old, but I do have the 21 year old, but i'm saving it for a rainy day. Don't want to have too many bottles opened at the same time. Good review :)
