The best comparison for GF15 is probably not to a whisky, but to another 15 year old - El Dorado 15 Year Old Rum (distilled in Guyana in Wooden [yes, wooden!] pot-stills). The depth of complexity in this rum is simply mind-boggling, and it's really quite a challenge to simply understand what's going on in the glass. The oldest record of Glenfarclas as a distillery is a painting from 1791, which shows a still house and malt barns in addition to the farm buildings. You can see an image of the painting here. Legal Since 1836

Our Service is an online platform which provides Members with information (e.g. bottle facts, market-indices, market values and prices) on (mostly) whisky and allows Members to add information to the platform. We do not sell, nor does the Service provide any option to buy, any alcoholic products. Power and general purpose water comes from various mountain streams (it still is), but the water for mashing comes from “‘Sauchie’ … the most noted and valued spring in the immediate district”. The 15 yo has improved a lot over the weeks. The alcool is not as presents as it was fresh opened. But it is still there bringing a very winy Sherry influence with a dry spicy wood and some green cereals. With air and time you have cherries and almond like on a Canadian rye.Finish: The finish is a bit short, but the fact I held this whisky in my mouth for quite a while is probably a factor there! Otherwise, this has an incredibly wonderful finish, releasing sweet dates, almonds, and some pepper. Whiskybase B.V. is the Dutch private limited liability company, having its statutory seat in Rotterdam, The Netherlands and its office at Zwaanshals 530, 3035 KS Rotterdam, The Netherlands. Whiskybase B.V. is registered with the Dutch Chamber of Commerce under no. 52072819. The palate starts of lovely with big cherries and milk chocolate praline. It is sweet and round going into Winter spice and Heather honey. The palate translate the nose with a lot of extra. First there is a splash of hot spices I can't described. There is some pepper and something else. Then the leather is superb, even if you have a bit of chemicals with it. But it seems this leather has marinated in a mix of nutmeg and cinnamon. The malt is not as present as in the nose but the vegetable is still there. And from beginning to end the chocolate is coating nicely everything even the vanilla that came at the end. I don't like to add water to my whisky but when I used my saliva the fruit were coming out from the sherry, mainly raisin and plum. Direct firing does mean, however, that the stills degrade faster, as charring and cleaning strip the copper. Therefore, Glenfarclas is forced to change over its stills more frequently (every 20-30 years) than other distilleries might.
