Glenfarclas 40 Year Old

Speyside

Built: 1878. Current Owner: Speyside Distillers Co. Production Capacity: 600,000 litres. House style: A slightly peaty flavour gives way to creamy ripples of hazelnut. The Speyside distillery is one of Scotland's newest and smallest. Their first whisky was released in 2001 and the annual production capacity is approximately 600,000 litres. The distillery is located on one of the River Spey's main tributaries, the River Tromie, close to the village of Drumguish.

Nose: Reminiscent of relaxing in an old leather armchair while eating walnuts and chocolate-covered raisins. It has a sweet initial Taste: Orange segments dipped in chocolate, then a lovely flavour of burnt brown sugar at the back of the mouth. The dry finish oozes big tannins and more rich dark cocoa beans. Let the whisky breathe a little or add a drop or two of water to fully open up the dram.
