Flavor notes

Color: Deep amber gold with beautiful copper-red reflections – a clear testimony to almost three decades of quiet maturation in sherry casks.

Nose: Complex and alluring with notes of dark chocolate, dried figs and raisins. Old leather, mocha and spicy oak slowly unfold and promise great depth.

Taste: Silky smooth and full-bodied mouthfeel. Candied orange peel, burnt caramel and spiced fruitcake meld with walnuts, tobacco, licorice and dark espresso.

Finish: Long, warm and elegant. A dry, sherried finish with a perfect balance of sweetness and tannins, rounded by toasted oak and dark, sophisticated nuances.

History of the house – Glenfarclas
