A rich, dark maple-syrup colour with a ruby tinge.

Powerful on the nose, with apples and pears prominent over the sherry.

A powerful exterior hiding a mellow centre of rich enticing flavours of marinated fruit – like peaches soaked in brandy. A little smoky at the back of your mouth but a delicate sensation.

Another great lingering finish for this dram. Sit and sip, and melt into your favourite armchair. A massage in a glass.

Colour of deep, dark amber.

The nose is glorious. Eventually you have to pull yourself away and dare yourself to taste the whisky. Will it live up to the wonderful experience of the bouquet? There’s no need to worry. The flavours – almost a peach and apricot infusion – do not disappoint; perfect partners for the delightful nose.

This whisky has a beautiful long, elegant finish with a little peat smoke and earthy notes to the back of the mouth, where there is a lovely sweet finish.

A light bronze-honey colouring.

Nose marked by chocolate flavours, smoke and clove spices. Almost like mulled wine which develops into floral attributes.
Initial caramel makes way for toffee apples, then onto apples and pears.

Finish more spices, liquorice and bitter chocolate at the back of your throat.

A perfect balance between whisky and sherry.

A wonderful lighter whisky. From a sherry cask but without the rich colour you will find with other whiskies from The Family Casks collection. However, it’s still rather dark.

This whisky is fresh and lively, and makes for a superb aperitif. A little vanilla first, followed by some smoke, then light citrus notes.

A beautiful full whisky that deserves time for you to appreciate it fully.

The colour is gold – strong 24--carat gold.

With a powerful nose of vanilla and walnuts, this distinct whisky from Glenfarclas is light and fresh. Add a little water and let it open up to reveal delightful pear drop flavours.

It has a medium-length finish, with some malty notes apparent.

The colour is a beautiful rich amber, more akin to the colour you would expect from a first-fill cask.

The nose is a tantalising mix of honey, sweet fruits and ripe melon – a fresh whisky with a lot to offer.

On initial tasting, this big, powerful whisky is rich in sherry with some bitter orange flavour at the back of the mouth.

The finish is definitely buttery, like butterscotch dessert. A beautiful whisky that leaves a silky flavouring that coats your mouth and throat.

1976 was an excellent year for Glenfarclas – I was born! Although this is a refill sherry cask, it still has an amazing colour; a lovely rich amber-bronze.

This is a very fruity whisky – lots of wine comparisons can be made. It’s also a very fresh whisky. I suggest comparing this with our Glenfarclas 30 Years Old, and exploring the differences.

It is a very creamy whisky; peaceful with a little malty sweetness and pear drops apparent at the back of the mouth.

An intriguing whisky that leaves you wanting to try it again. I think I shall.

A light whisky on the eye. However, a honey sweetness you would associate with a much darker dram. Although not as heavily sherried as other Glenfarclas expressions, the nose on this whisky is divine. Very sweet and well balanced.

A buttery smooth whisky, with spicy undertones.

A short intense finish, which fills your entire mouth.

For a refill cask, this whisky has a lovely copper colour.

A light fragrant nose of earthy notes mixed with fresh dew on a summer day.

It’s definitely a summery whisky with fresh herbs and fresh grass cuttings coming through. Quite floral.

The finish is elegant and surprisingly long. Just when you think you have lost the flavour, it reappears again. A great whisky that’s probably preferable before, rather than after, dinner.

The colour of olive oil.

A nice smooth appetising nose reveals light spices and an estery aroma with fresh fruit.

It’s a creamy whisky, with light caramel toffee. In fact, the sweetness reminds me of our very own Glenfarclas Whisky Fudge.

It has a satisfying finish with floral notes.
