Introducing the Glenfarclas Spring Edition 2021, a unique release from the renowned Speyside distillery, Glenfarclas. This special edition, bottled specifically for the Netherlands, boasts an impressive ABV of 55% and has been meticulously matured in ex-Oloroso Sherry casks. This maturation process imparts a distinctive character to the whisky, setting it apart from traditional Glenfarclas expressions. The 700ml bottle encapsulates a whisky that balances youthful vigor with the rich, complex flavors of sherry cask aging, offering a memorable experience for whisky aficionados.
On the nose, the Glenfarclas Spring Edition 2021 starts with a slight aggressiveness, showcasing a prominent sherry influence without overwhelming the senses. Aromas of cherry, plum, and dried fruit are complemented by subtle hints of fresh-cut grass, spice, and oak. The palate presents a delightful interplay of sweet and spicy flavors, with briny notes giving way to a burst of sherry sweetness. Vanilla and old spice are intricately woven into the fabric of its taste profile. The finish is of medium length, slightly dry, with a sweet aftertaste reminiscent of the sherry casks, along with notes of chalk and a nice peppery touch.
