Full amber in colour and no suggestion of artificial colouring. Sweet sherry, burnt toffee, leather and coca on the aroma. The palate is full of rich sherry cask influences but much more than that is going on if you give it time to develop. Toffee, crystal malt, burnt toast, sherry, coca, liquorish, some coffee like bitterness, bramble fruitiness and a bit of dark rum seems to have got in somehow. The mouth feel is full and creamy, and despite the 46% it’s smooth and lacking in alcohol burn. The finish is quite sweet and a malty, although not achingly long. The liquorish, coffee ad blackberry hang around for the finish.

A fine and good value malt, that has arguably been Glenfarclass’s class act for some years. Some recent reviews suggest it might have gone downhill, but this bottle seems up to scratch to me.

Still a top dram, indeed. I could sniff this stuff for hours, the nose is just THAT good...

The nose is certainly good. I find the taste better, although more intoxicating.
