Tasting
Nose
On the nose, the Glenfarclas 15 years shows a slightly dry note, which is complemented by a tart freshness. Green apples are prominent, accompanied by a sweet honey note and a hint of cream that smooths the flavour. Cinnamon spice and almonds add another dimension, while an exotic kumquat note gives the bouquet an interesting depth.
Palate
On the tongue, the single malt is mildly fruity at the top and provides a tingling sensation that invigorates the taste buds. The whisky is full-bodied and develops a spicy intensity that is complemented by the flavour of roasted honey dates and toasted oak. Notes of old wood give it a deep, earthy complexity that rounds off the overall picture.
Finish
The finish is warming and dry, leaving a pleasant aftertaste of walnut and spicy flavours. A hint of coloured pepper and coffee beans provides additional depth and makes the finish particularly long and complex.
