Молодой, не классический хересный Glenfarclas: солодовая сладость, цитрус, орехи и умеренный сухой херес при заметной алкогольной резкости. Опытные считают его сложнее и лучше стандартного 15-летнего; остальные хвалят как честный бюджетный образец.
развернуть подробно
В аромате преобладают солод и спелые фруктовые ноты (яблоко, груша, слива, апельсин, кровавый апельсин), к которым добавляются херес, орехи (миндаль, арахис, фундук), кожа, ваниль, выпечка, мёд и лёгкие пряности — корица, мускатный орех. Вкус кремово-сладкий и обволакивающий на старте: солодовая сладость, цитрус, виноград, какао и тёмный шоколад, орехи, поджаренный солод, немного дуба и белого перца, у части авторов проскальзывает растительная терпкость. Послевкусие средней длины, суховатое и слегка пряное, уходит в сухой дуб, кофе, мускатный орех, орехи и мягкую горчинку, сменяющую сладость.
Хвалят сложность и деликатность для своей цены, качество самого дистиллята и характер, отличный от типичного Glenfarclas (некоторые ловят сходство с молодым Clynelish), а также честное соотношение цены и качества. Критикуют молодость и лёгкость тела, заметную алкогольную резкость и то, что это не насыщенный современный хересный стиль. Опытные ревьюеры дают взвешенные, но уважительные оценки (82–86) и прямо ставят его выше стандартного 15-летнего, отмечая неожиданную сложность и тонкость; остальные держатся в том же диапазоне (82–86), но описывают проще — как крепкий, честный повседневный образец с сухим хересом. Оценки в целом согласованы, расхождение не в баллах, а в глубине восприятия.

COLOR: Gold - a good sherry single malt - not the best barrels, not extremely intense but nevertheless complex and delicate - you can taste the wonderful distillation character of the still here - definitely better than the standard 15 years. - For €50-60 you can get a good whisky where you can't go wrong might

...even though no age is stated... and probably a blend of different ages and different, including 3rd and 4th filled casks...I think it offers a lot, I would even prefer it to the 15-year-old...surprisingly complex... [Color]: Honey-colored;

The Sherry is sweeter, more country, with fresh wood and hay. There is body, nuts, plants, loose earth. Green tea. A drizzle of vanilla, chocolate cake, marzipan, cinnamon. Behind, a certain freshness, mint, eucalyptus. In the mouth, it's still a little light, but pleasant, woody cereals, muesli, wheat and puffed rice. Some orchard fruits, apples, nectarines and pears. The finish is drier, beefier, on cola and nutmeg, almonds, quite long all the same. This is a very pleasant Glenfarclas, a bit quirky (have a few Bourbon casks been used?), and very interesting. https://ilikesky2020.blogspot.com/2021/11/glenfarclas-private-reserve-2021.html

(Update: After a few weeks of air in the open bottle, I upgrade the whisky by one point. I like the 2022 (WB218318) much better in direct comparison, but this one is still a good one with a little time in the open bottle Value for money whisky and now also has more Glenfarcla flavors.) I had ordered the 46er Private Reserve 2022 (WB218318) from my trusted dealer as a whisky for my vacation in Italy, but when I wanted to pick it up, only this one was available. So that I don't have to spontaneously buy a bottle in the supermarket for the evenings while on holiday in Italy, I took this with me first. What can I say, we had a rocky start and I was first at 84 to 85 points. But the distillate is great, the whisky is still young, but (fortunately) something special, not a classic Glenfarclas. Reminds me a lot of young Clynelish. Immediately after opening 86 points. Maybe with a few days of breathing room it will increase to almost 87 points.

.5 The palate starts with roasted malt aromas, citrus, barley sugar, almonds and a slight soy note in the background. It all harmonizes better than it sounds. As I said, the whisky is still young, but solid and honest Glenfarclas quality. |

Solid dram, no frills. Not a modern ex-sherry cask whisky. Certainly young, but clear and pure.

Elegant but rough whisky, with character. An excellent "entry level" Glenfarclas; the red part, tannin, is a little hidden, and leaves room for the freshness of the malt, with more vanilla and floral notes. Fine distillery for many good reasons... great whisky.

Barley and sherry alternate, young malt and blood orange, but also fresh notes of green apple and wildflowers. Elegant. |

Dry and enveloping. Sweet notes, cherry, honey and vanilla, but also dried fruit. Soft notes of wood. A good part floral and citric, followed by darker notes, leather and earth. Rough note alcohol, Glenfarclas docet. Very high quality distillate. |

Medium-long. Slightly spiced, warm. The sweet notes give way to more bitter hints, moka coffee and nutmeg. |
