Glenfarclas Glenlivet 105 8 Year Old Bottled 1970s

Glenfarclas 1970, 42 YO (K&L Exclusive) Cask 2030

Nose: Rich and really fantastic. Heavily on chocolate with a very dry, bourbony quality. Slight rubber and a bit of a funky red-fruit sherried quality shining through it. Faint vanilla. Some people have said that there's a cherry-flavored cough syrup note, and I don't think that they're wrong. Lots of ridiculously heavy dark sherried whisky...

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...

Fresh vanilla bread, dried red fruit,...

Glenfarclas 15 Year Old

Nose - Christmas cake Palate - Christmas cake Finish - Christmas cake Did I miss anything? Seriously though, this is a staggering whisky, and one which seems woefully under-exposed to the vast majority of people to whom I speak. For Shame... The best comparison for GF15 is probably not to a whisky, but to another 15 year old - El Dorado 15 Year...
