Color: Mahogany
Nose:Clean, rich sherry with plenty of rum & raisins, raspberry jam and kirschy notes. Some spicy chocolate. Oranges and red grapes. Hints of almond liqueur. A very juicy (and slightly more balanced) version of Glenfarclas 105.
Taste: In that same tradition of the 105. Deep sherry with dark sugar and raisins all over. Plums. Gets spicy (cardamom, pepper) with a savoury and lightly herbal (even salty) touch.
Finish: Baked pear with caramelized sugar, dried orange and a fair amount of oak.
Comments: Maybe these casks were pre-destined for the 105, but they turned out to be better than average?
