Distillery bottling "The Family Cask Series"
in conjunction with Silver Seal
70cl
52%
Cask Number 148
Total 473 bottles from a 1st fill sherry cask

Nose: starts pretty compact with precious wood and dried fruits. Grows wider: Banyuls and Portuguese ginjha. Dates, figs, rum-soaked raisins. Some dry wood smoke and walnuts. Hints of beef stock. Some cardamom. Quite heavy overall, but more complex than most other heavily sherried whiskies
Mouth: rich, with sweet, herbal and softly sour flavours. Cherry pie, prunes, raisins, figs, Christmas cake. Strawberry jam and milk chocolate. Hints of gingerbread and liquorice, but it¡¦s nicely un-oaky, classic
Finish: long, spicier and drier, but still a lot of dried fruits, nicely sweet & sour without showing too much wood or bitterness alongside it
A classic example of Glenfarclas¡¦ heritage.
