Glenfarclas 1968 41 Year Old Sherry Casks
70cl / 49.7%
A special bottling of two single Glenfarclas 1968 41 Year Old selected for leading Glenfarclas collector Luc Timmermans (his birth year), who couldn’t decide between them and made the sensible decision to vat them both together.
I don’t have an older version at hand but this one should do. Colour: gold, paler than other batches. Nose: much, much less sherry than in the 104 but it’s not really more powerful despite the higher strength. More almonds and grass as well as a little porridge. Now, the sherry kicks in after a few minutes, the whole getting rather closer to the undiluted 104, including these kirschy and faintly rubbery notes and quite some chocolate. With water: farmyard, hay and grains. Much less sherry. Glenfarclas 1968 41 Year Old Sherry Casks
Mouth (neat): very powerful, kind of cleaner than the 104, with lots of apples and other garden fruits. Plum spirit and almond liqueur, all that at very high strength. Frankly, it’s a tad hard to enjoy at full strength (S., you sissy!) With water: once again, water worked well even if this one is more herbal and slightly bitter than the 104. Cardamom, a little wasabi, pepper… Also pears and apples. Finish: long, ‘natural’, leaving an oiliness on your palate. Pears in the aftertaste. Comments: I’ve had some 105s that were more sherried and chocolaty, but this one is interesting, even if recent batches have been much superior, by far (some fetching 88 points in my book, imagine). SGP:351 – 82 points.
