Glenfarclas 1964 Family Casks Cask #4726
Glenfarclas 1964 Family Casks
Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky
70cl / 42.1%
Created in the same year that pirate radio station Radio Caroline came into being, this sherry-matured whisky was bottled in January 2017 and is part of the acclaimed Glenfarclas Family casks series.
I’m sorry, but does the name ‘Family Cask’ remain valid if George has left? Anyway, if La Maison have selected such a young drop to celebrate their 65th anniversary, there must be a reason, let’s try to find it. Colour: deep red amber. Nose: sometimes, rich young sherry monsters may start like bourbon, in this case with rather a lot of varnish and acetone, over a nicely caramelised pecan pie straight from the oven. And then it’s cake after cake, kougelhopf, tarte tatin, panettone… Well we’re almost over the moon about this young beauty that, what’s more, feels unexpectedly ‘craft’. With water: seriously, I doubt you could do much better in Speyside, at this young age. Probably buries most neighbours… Glenfarclas 1964 Family Casks Cask #4726
Meanwhile, Mouth (neat): perfect, if a little brutal and a little too much on cherries and strawberries because of the very high strength. And on Texas-style sweet and smoked barbecue sauce. There, let’s add water… With water: toffee, chocolate, marmalade, raisins and coffee, the holy pentangle of sherried Speyside whisky. We’ll now sip this away while listening to Jacqui Mcshee’s Pentangle, if you don’t mind… Finish: long and more on raisins, fig arrack, dried jujubes and litchees… The aftertaste is very chocolatey again, with even a little smoke. Comments: as good as it gets at ten years old.
