Glenfarclas reviews

I was delighted to find a 25-year-old single malt today, from Glenfarclas - of course, fully matured in oloroso.The colour is a medium amber. On the nose we have rich sherry notes: roasted pecans, rum…

Ah, Glenfarclas, the distillery that seemingly everyone's got a soft spot for. And for good reason - they make some excellent sherried whiskys that are very competitively priced. Their range is exte…
