Glenfarclas 1990 Cask J & B Grant

This item is archived.

Tasting Note by George S. Grant (Brand Ambassador): This bottling is darker than its stablemates from the 90s, with a hint of redness. The thick, powerful nose is bursting with sherry – and demerara sugar. The lovely malty flavour keeps pace with the powerful, rich viscous flavours of sherry. It's a full whisky that demands respect; high in alcohol and flavour. Adding a little water does not tame the flavours. Instead, it simply elongates the sensation until you reach the lovely caramelised fruit flavours near the end. The finish is something to write home about – very elegant and refreshing. 94pts Jim Murray: "this is how every Sherry Butt should be. It almost brings a tear to the eye."
