The Glenfarclas New Label 25yo is a single malt whisky that has been matured for 25 years in former Oloroso sherry casks, resulting in a complex and refined flavor profile with distinct sherry notes. The whisky has a rich amber color with dark gold highlights and a powerful nutty smokiness. The nose is complex yet refined, with tempting aromas of marmalade, honey, freshly ground coffee, sherry, and nuts, along with some oaky tannins.
On the palate, the whisky is full-bodied and robust, with the sherry and oak fighting for attention, yet neither overpowering. The finish is intense and long-lasting, with a beautiful dark chocolate taste at the back of the mouth. This whisky is an all-time classic and an excellent example of a long-aged sherried Speyside, with rich flavors of fruitcake, hazelnuts, dried fruit, and a hint of dark chocolate and coffee.
Glenfarclas is one of the oldest distilleries in Speyside, known for its masterful use of European oak sherry casks and direct-fired stills.
