Glenfarclas Family Cask 1985 S22

The family-run distillery released this Glenfarclas Single Cask Whiskey from 1985 in the summer of 2022 for their Family Casks series. The single malt whiskey spent its cask maturity from 1985 to 2022 in the refill Sherry Hogshead 2602. The distillery bottled the Scotch at cask strength at 41.9% by volume. As a natural Scotch, it also comes without coloring and chill filtration. Nosing: The whiskey has a fruity and aromatic nose. It smells of blackberries and dried fruits. Behind it are chocolate, honey and spicy wood. Tasting: The Glenfarclas Family Casks 1985 puts berries on the tongue. It tastes of raspberries, blackberries and wild berries. Nuts and chocolate come through. Vanilla provides sweetness. Coffee is present. Oak initiates the finish with spices. Finish: The finish is long-lasting. The Scotch says goodbye with impressions of wild berries. It leaves sherry and notes of cocoa.
