Glenfarclas 30 yo (43%, OB, 2004)
Colour: deep amber.
Nose: bolder, and more spectacular attack, with the eucalyptus and resin coming much sooner. More phenolic, with whiffs of smoke. Lots of crystallised orange. Some really great sherry in there… A beautiful nose, bolder, with more oomph.
Mouth: bold, creamy attack, on lots of sherry, dried fruits (all kinds, pear, orange, fig), spices, cake. Great notes of eucalyptus and peppermint, and some soft tannins and white pepper.
Finish: it is medium long, but bold and balanced.
