About Glenfarclas 12Yr Scotch
Glenfarclas 12 Year Old is a Speyside single malt Scotch whisky, produced by the independent Glenfarclas distillery and distributed by Sazerac Company Inc., with 43% ABV and available in 750ml bottles at $45.00. What makes it special is its 100% maturation in sherry casks—primarily Oloroso and Fino—delivering a classic 'sherry bomb' profile of rich dried fruits, honey, caramel, and subtle spice without overwhelming heaviness, earning it 'Best Sherried Whisky' in the 2006 Single Malt World Cup. It's ideal for sherry lovers, newcomers to single malts seeking balance over complexity, and value seekers, offering full-bodied Speyside character at an accessible price. Compared to category peers like Macallan or Aberlour, it stands out for its family-owned heritage, straightforward confidence, and lighter body that punches above its weight, often praised as a steal under $50.
Tasting Notes
👃 Nose
Big sherry bursts forward with sweet fruity aromas of raisins, plums, melon, and berries, underpinned by honey, light citrus, wood grain, and subtle hints of oak, smoke, and spice. Vibrant amber gold color enhances the powerful yet restrained nutty and lemony sourness at close quarters. Subtle earthiness and toffee apple emerge with time.
👅 Palate
Sherry sweetness dominates with creamy toffee, fruitcake, raisins, dried fruits, vanilla, and mulled wine notes, balanced by oak, spice, and a touch of smoke or peat. Medium-bodied and soft entry builds to firm hard toffee, banana bread sweetness, and gentle warmth without burn, offering well-rounded simplicity. Full-bodied yet light, with supple Manuka honey, date walnut cake, and creamy vanilla.
✨ Finish
Long, spicy, and warming with lingering sherry sweetness, ginger snaps, shortbread, allspice, cinnamon, cloves, and orange zest. Turns dry with a satisfying tail of honey and spice.
