A Quarter-Century in Sherry Oak
Glenfarclas built its reputation on sherry casks and patience, and the 25 Year is where both peak in the core range: decades in Oloroso wood in cool dunnage warehouses, drawn from stocks a family distillery can only lay down because it plans in generations, not quarters. The result is a malt of marmalade, honey and ground coffee that sherried-whisky drinkers measure others against. Find it among our Scotch whisky range, browse the broader whisky shelf, or visit the Glenfarclas vendor page.
Tasting Notes
Nose: Marmalade, honey, ground coffee and sherry-soaked nuts. Palate: Full-bodied — sherry and oak in balance. Finish: Long and dry, malty with a dark chocolate tail.
How to Enjoy
Neat, with time in the glass — a malt this old opens slowly. A drop of water lifts the marmalade and coffee if you want them brighter.
