The distillery is a mystery, which usually means Glenfarclas, but possibly not in this case. Distilled in 1991 and bottled at 27 years of age and 48.8% after maturing in a Hogshead. This was a hit, tying for 3rd at a recent Rare Malts tasting. There is some speculation that this is a Bourbon Cask Macallan!
700 mlAndrew's Tasting Note
Nose: creamy and doughy, marzipan and almond paster croissants; loads of white fruit and a touch of floral perfume; the oak is starting to make its presence felt, but is still a deft touch.
Palate: toasty, floral and drying; there is still a load of white fruit, but also some raspberry puree; doughy with more floral vanilla, almond paste croissants and marzipan; hot white pepper and candied ginger; warming, spicy and decadent.
Finish: long, warm and spicy; the whisky remains rich, layered and decadent with a touch of elegant smoke?
Comment: this would be a brilliant fireside whisky on a cool summer night; elegant and complex but also mellowing!
