It's the most diverse, unusual, variable, interesting, delicious beverage on the planet. One could drink two drams a day for the next 50 years and never discover all there is to taste, smell and savour.
Glenfarclas 10 yo Official bottling Single malt - Speyside Amber, tinge of pink 43% ABV Mini
Nose: Sherry sweet, clotted cream and fresh milk, oranges and dried apricots. A little oak underneath. Mouthfeel: Watery. Very liquid but not thin. Tasting: Sweet. Big hit of spice, cinnamon and nutmeg. Strawberry jam, vanilla cream, tannin. Cream tea! Finish: Medium to long. Loses intensity quickly, but hangs around. Spice cake and orange peel. Comments:
Cream tea whisky. Milky sweet notes, very enjoyable. This is Glenfarclas's flagship official bottling. If it's this spicy at this strength, the cask strength and Family Cask bottlings must be very good indeed.
In my book, any distilled spirit made using malted grain mash, where you can still taste the grain. That means malt whisky, grain whisky, bourbon and new make spirit, single, blended or vatted.
