Glenfarclas 1959 42 Year Old Sherry Cask With Glass
70cl / 46%
Firstly, A simply stunning refill Glenfarclas 1959 42 Year Old at a phenomenal age. What is amazing about this whisky is that the oak is not too intrusive and while there is obviously a big fruitcake sherry character, it isn’t overwhelming and the balance is still there. Probably one of the greatest malts ever released from this truly great distillery. Glenfarclas 1959 42 Year Old Sherry Cask With Glass
Colour: Dark gold. Nose: starts all on straw and camomile tea, with a slight old bottle effect (OBE). The latter grows bigger after a few seconds, with hints of shoe polish and soot. Also something delicately ashy as well as notes of freshly brewed coffee (torrefaction). Also nougat and praline and finally something slightly farmy (wet hay). Less rounded and floral than more recent old versions. Very nice. Mouth: sweet and rounded attack, fruity like an old Tomatin (if you see what I mean), with hints of violet sweets and mint, liquorice, orange drops and roasted nuts. Glenfarclas 1959 42 Year Old Sherry Cask.
Additionally, Very pleasant ‘old resinous waxiness’ that may come from OBE again. Funny hints of marshmallows as well, not that frequent in old bottles, and finally quite some tannins from the wood – and pepper. Finish: medium long, a little oakier, drier… Not the best part I think. Comments: very good old Glenfiddich despite the slightly drying finish and maybe a certain lack of personality on the palate. SGP:261 – 86 points.
