PERSONALISED GLENFARCLAS 12 YEAR OLD SINGLE MALT SCOTCH WHISKY 43% 1LT
"Of the more contemporary age statement bottlings, Jim Murray enthuses over this one more than most, rating it just one point below the venerable 40 year old!"
Tasting note: [2014 bottling] Deep gold. Shortbread and enticing vanilla custard on the nose; decidedly fulleri, richer and overall slightly better balanced than the 10 year old, however, there's an odd match box/pickled onion flavour and a sharp edge to the profile that leaves you wanting. Concludes semi sweet, spiced up with gingery warmth but a little thin to finish. 43% Alc./Vol.
Other reviews
A superb re-working of an always trustworthy malt... What a sensational success! 94 points - Jim Murray's Whisky Bible 2021
Nose: Deceptive. Seems restrained, but at close quarters is quite powerful. Nutty, with a splash of lemony sourness.
Palate: Big, firm. Hard toffee. Burnt, peat-smoke, notes.
Finish: Spicy. Ginger snaps. Shortbread. Long, lingering. Comment: Confident. Straightforward. A first-class whisky. Well-rounded. No-nonsense. 8.5/10 - Michael Jackson - whiskymag.com
