Name: Glenfarclas 30YO
Distillery: Glenfarclas (Speyside)
Type: Single Malt Scotch
Age Statement: 30YO
Alc/Vol: 43%
My apologies one and all for the difficulties for this month's Whisky of the Month so far. It's already down to the last week of the month of July, so SGwhisky will try its utmost to get the remaining few Glenfarclas expressions out for one and all to see and appreciate! We started off the coverage for Glenfarclas with the Glenfarclas 175, which was an interesting dram. Now we head into the Glenfarclas core range, and sample a nice oldie which is well regarded, the Glenfarclas 30!
Nose: Woah! What a nose! Creamy and reach with notes of espresso with loads of sugar. Raisins, fruit cake, coffee stained sugar, rum and raisin Ice Cream. This is a real classic Glenfarclas quality nose. (24)
Taste/Palate: Mouth coating with notes of coffee, burnt nuts and rich forest fruits (22)
Finish: Slight bitterness with a lovely dry and oaky feel. Fruity sweetness continues as well (22)
Overall: Great stuff but it falls short of the brilliance the 40YO portrays (22) 90/100
