If we decide not to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms, such decision shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. Glenfarclas 105 Cask Strength is somewhat of an oddity in the distillery’s currentrange. It is the only one which doesn’t presently carry an age-statement (however the Internet suggests that it is at least 8 year old). Similarly to fellow cask strength sherried heavy weight Aberlour A’bunadh, as a vatting of casks there are reports of batch variance for time to time, but that’s the nature of the beast when it comes to vattings. It’s bottled at a hefty 60% ABV is naturally coloured, and although not specified, I am presuming is probably non chill-filtered.Hazelnuts, leather, dried dark fruit, copper, orange peels, baking spice, cocoa, graham, and a touch of ash. The whisky will manifest differently depending on how much water is added (from 0 water to 2:1 whisky:water ratio are all viable given the 60 proof). I have also noticed big differences nosing and tasting side by side in a tumbler and a glencairn. The time sitting with water in the glass over time also factors in.

This is a complex and elegant whisky. Sweet dried fruit, vanilla cream, cinnamon, baking spices and a drying oak all dance together. The flavors and smells are rich and warm, owing to the high strength. Its flavor profile is best suited to a cold winter night. Being Jewish i cannot confirm whether it tastes like christmas but many people say it does. When on the hunt for sherry cask matured whiskies, Glenfarclas should always be somewhere on your horizons. The majority of the distillery’s whisky is sherry matured (mainly from ex-oloroso and ex-fino sherries) from spirit which is produced via direct gas fired stills. To me, this bottle, 1 peaty island scotch, and 1 good bourbon can really constitute a solid "collection".

Dilute to taste

Finish: Medium length on rubber, raisins, and a hint of coal smoke. Water slightly lengthens the finish, keeping the rubber and adding some malt and muesli. Taste: Neat, less welcoming and perhaps even heavier than the restrained nose. An oily mouthfeel brings rubber - some of it burnt - along with tyres, spirit sulphur and a few raisins. Water makes a huge difference here as well, adding some silkiness to the mouthfeel and turning the taste maltier with some coal smoke and flint stone along with the burnt brown toast and plums from the neat nose. If Glenfarclas isn’t at the top of your personal Speyside league table, I’d urge you to do as I did: reconnect with an open mind, alone or with friends, and savor some of these highly enjoyable drams. Taste Fruity and spicy/spirity, dried fruits, raisin, bramble, dried apple and mango, slightly leathery, plenty of cinnamon fizz, tannic oak and freshly grated nutmeg. With water more spice, oak and a hint of cardboard. We may, but are not under any obligation, to release new functionalities and tools or other features for the Service every now and then.

There’s been a recent spate of indie bottlings at dizzyingly high ABVs, achievable only because the casks have been filled higher than the typical filling strength of 63.5% ABV. Some, like the Bunnahabhain sherry butts bottled by Signatory and van Wees, might have sold well anyway, but the ABVs hitting as high as 68.9% no doubt helped. Other indie bottlings from high strength cask fillers, like bottlings of Glenallachie, Glenrothes, and Tomintoul, had less of a distillery premium but still sold briskly at north of 66% ABV. If 60% is Glenfarclas turned up to 10, these go to 11. More is more and more is better. K&L Glenfarclas “Assertive, amazingly smooth for the strength, and wonderfully warming.”– Glenfarclas Glenfarclas 105 Tasting Notes The key selling point of Glenfarclas 105 is in the name: it’s cask strength at 105 old British proof, or 60% ABV, every time. That means the casks for each batch have to be selected not only on taste, but also on ABV. It’s a curious conundrum for the blender. Imagine their dismay at creating the tastiest batch of 105 ever only to find it weighed in at 59.6% or 60.8%. A total disaster. Tasted this sherry monster again and had a chance to really revisit it. It’s been a while since I first tasted Glenfarclas 105 and I’ve learned to drink cask strength versions since then.Glenfarclas describe their whisky as ‘Single Highland Malt Scotch Whisky’ which might confuse some when they learn that the distillery is actually located in Ballindalloch in Speyside – traditionally the Highland region embraced what is now delineated as Speyside and, deep-down, Glenfarclas is still a very traditional distillery. These old time values still have some modern day benefit for whisky lovers - Glenfarclas bottings present unfussy low-key branding which eschew the current trend for marketing-driven label twaddle. A dash of this whisky can be great in baking, compote, and desserts. Its sweetness and strength work well there. From the first nosing until the long lingering aftertaste, each of the notes will present then withdraw, in evolving combinations.
