Origin: Speyside, Scotland ABV: 43% Style: Sherried Single Malt
Tasting Note: A masterclass in traditional Speyside whisky-making, Glenfarclas 25 Year Old is a beautifully aged expression that exudes elegance, depth, and complexity. The nose is rich and sophisticated, offering layers of dried fig, roasted nuts, Christmas cake, and polished oak, underscored by hints of leather and a touch of spice. On the palate, it is velvety smooth with flavours of dark chocolate, stewed fruits, Seville orange marmalade, and sweet sherry-soaked raisins. The finish is long, warming, and harmonious, with lingering spice, toffee, and a gentle wisp of smoke.
Perfect For: Celebrating life’s finer moments. Sip it neat or with a drop of water to unlock its full depth. A contemplative dram that rewards patience.
Richard’s Tip: Pour it after dinner, pair with a fine cigar or blue cheese, and give it time to open in the glass. This isn’t just whisky—it’s heritage in a bottle.
