Colour:Deep brown, sherry, oily
Nose:At first a really sharp whiff of alcohol together with rubber tires. Later the rubber gives way to more buttery and sugary aromes (cane sugar) but we're never left without that unpleasant stingy spirity nose.
Palate.: Exactly like the nose. The rubbery taste always stays in the back, but especially with lots of water there is also a pleasant note of sweet fruits, dates and figs.
Finish: Astonishingly mild and short.
Conc.: A whisky for special occasions: I never had a single malt mixing that well with coke, lime and ice! It mixes better than most bourbons i tried. Glenfarclas rocks!
2007
This Glenfarclas version was one of the first cask strengths to be marketed. The whisky is good, but the very high alcohol percentage, with a rough feeling impeached me to quote it higher than 16. Lots of other cask strength whiskies do not have this slightly aggressive character. It stays a very good whisky, and I really recommend it, but please be careful...
The advantage of cask strength is that you can decide for yourself how much water you want to add..
2003A well marked and pungent nose, with sherry and dry apricot hints.
In the palate, the high percentage of alcohol makes this whisky first rather aggressive before developing on nice woody and slighty bitter notes, and a kind of smoothness, between honey and malt, through clear acid touches.
A lingering and warm finish.
2006Sherry clearly dominates the nose, and the alcohol percentages gives it a kind of pungent character.
Nice fruity and fresh notes follow after a while. In the mouth, toffee mixes nicely with fruit, and some slightly bitter hints appear on the background.
The finish is quite interesting, and the fuity character of this whisky is clearly present. Further is the finish rather long and pleasant.
2006A pleasant powerful nose on a sherry background, without too much nuances characterized the second tasting.
The sherry remains present in the palate. The strength of the alcohol makes it rather difficult to detect the different hints of this robust drink.
A rather pleasant finish crowns the whole.
