Many have wondered at the origins of the unique taste of Glenfarclas. Some believe the secret lies in the tumbling waters of the green burn married with fresh highland air. Others believe it is in the great copper stills, which continue to be direct fired and some believe the secret is the family's uncompromising commitment to maturing Glenfarclas in the best oak casks in traditional dunnage warehouses.
 

The aromas are complex, oaky, apples and pears, and a tempting dark toffee sweetness. The palate is dry and assertive, develops quickly to reveal a rich spiciness, combined with a hint of oak and sherried fruit. Amazingly smooth for the strength; wonderfully warming and with a lingering smokiness, yet very rounded.
