Glenfarclas 25 Year Old Quarter Cask

$340.19

Bottled at a cask strength of 42.4%, this whisky is the marriage of the last 10 quarter casks maturing at Glenfarclas, the youngest of which was 25 years old. Andrew's Tasting Note: �Nose: caramel sauce, chocolate fudge and vanilla ice cream; sticky toffee pudding in fresh cream; layered dark fruits and spice with a hint of mint and subdued tropical fruits; ripe melon, diced mango and canned pineapples; Palate: round, fruity, earthy and spicy with some drying leather and tobacco; underneath it all a layer of cream and crisp toasty oak; on second pass the treacle sauce and toffee cake make an appearance with dried fruit and some fresh mint; burnt fruits, Demerara sugars and dark chocolate; the tropical fruits come out with some patience; Finish: drying with loads of tobacco, dark fruits, sugars and spice with just enough creaminess to keep it fresh.

Tomatin 40 Year

$859.49

A limited edition of 1614 bottles, with only about 24 having found their way to Alberta. Distilled in 1967, it is 42.9% after maturing 40 years in 7 Ex-Sherry Hogsheads. Andrew�s Tasting Note: �Nose: a m�lange of tropical fruits, decadent spices, silky leather tendrils and fine tobacco; as the nose opens up there is a hint of mango, fresh cut pineapple, melons and Seville orange; there is a little prickle from the oak, hinting at the whisky�s advancing age; Palate: more silky leather and fine tobacco with decadent spices like ginger, cinnamon and nutmeg; the fruit is fleshy and ripe with more tropical fruits, creamy melon, mango and more tart pineapple; Finish: long, fruity and creamy with lingering tingly spices; more fine tobacco, smooth leather and traces of the tropical fruits; Comment: this is a fine example of an older whisky, starting to show its age but still fresh, layered and very vibrant.�

Glenfiddich Rich Oak 14 Year

$68.99

Matured 14 years and then finished in New American and European oak before bottling at 40%. This is a step up from the core range of 12 and 15 year olds. 

Andrew's Tasting Note

Nose: very honeyed, toasty, fresh and fruity; there is loads of caramel, white fruits and even a little melon.

Palate: a touch drier than expected to start but it slowly rounds out with more caramel, soft spice, loads of vanilla oak and crisp white fruits.

Finish: sweet, fruity and toasty with a little grassy malt.

Comment: I'm not frequently impressed by Glenfiddich, but this is a good session dram; a bottle could disappear in a night.
