Glenfarclas 43 Year Old 1977 (Cask #7288) Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky

A rather marvellous single cask bottling of well-aged single malt from the Glenfarclas Distillery, one of Speyside's stalwarts of whisky-based brilliance. This one was distilled in 1977, filled into a fourth-fill Oloroso sherry hogshead, and then set aside to age for a massive 43 years! Eventually, it was bottled up at 43.1% ABV, with just 215 bottles produced, each with a snazzy, shiny presentation box.

Glenfarclas 43 Year Old 1977 (Cask #7288) Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky Tasting Notes

Nose: Fantastic intensity of flavour on the nose. Initially heather honey pops out, followed by lemon balm, green apple, comice pear, dunnage, dusty sherry wood and hessian.

Palate: Really quite beautiful balance between vibrant fruit flavours and the haunting, but still kicking, sherry cask. All subtly assertive and brilliantly balanced. The palate is similarly impressive, with a sensational balance of intensity and lightness of touch. Overall it is glacially-cool, with more heather honey, comice pear, and lemon oil again providing a foil for dried sherry oak spice, knitted together by a subtle cereal flavour. The cask flavour is very playing a supporting role. Super sweetness brings everything together.

Finish: Finishes very long.
