Glenfarclas 25 Year Old already existed in the 1970s, but in a very different version. The current bottle design dates from 2007. It is not yet the oldest whisky in the official range, as there is still a 30-year-old and a 40-year-old.
Let's Taste It :
A very pastry nose, pastry cream and candied raspberries, opera, mille-feuilles, religieuse, you get the feeling you're breaking into a bakery. But there are spices too, cardamom, ginger and star anise. On the palate, it's still very creamy, but also malty, with hints of cereals, earth and a bit of sunshine, amidst red fruits, blackcurrants, cherries, blackberries, blueberries, gooseberries and so on. The finish is powerful, spicy, heathery and delicately peppery. Robust oak and soft earth.
In Short,
This whisky is a veritable festival of fruits and sweetness. But that's not all: there are also forest and cereal notes. The whole is very complex and pleasant. For a 25-year-old, the price is ridiculously low, but it has to be said that we're not at the level of a normal 25-year-old. Enthusiasts can treat themselves by buying it.
Score : 88
