Glenfarclas 17 Year Single Malt Scotch Whiskey

The Glenfarclas 17 Year is where the distillery's sherry cask mastery truly hits its stride — a Speyside single malt that one reviewer's wife tried and called the only whisky she's ever loved, and it's easy to understand why. Bottled primarily for the North American and Japanese markets at 43% ABV, the 17 Year is aged exclusively in Oloroso sherry casks — and the extra years beyond the 12 Year expression make a genuinely meaningful difference. The nose is complex and sophisticated with buttery toffee, sherried fruit peels, dates, and even a hint of peat, while toffee, marshmallow, and elegant orange peel oil on the nose give way to a palate of more orange, medium sherry character, and a finish of orange peel with lightly herbal sherry character more reminiscent of crisp white cherries than heavy dried prunes. Full-bodied and rich, it fills and coats the palate with warming nutmeg, sherried fruits, cinnamon, and mixed peel — finishing long, spicy, and sweet with a hint of smoke on the tail. The flavors are a little darker than the 12 Year — dried fruit more assertive, but the whisky still maintains a freshness with bright berry notes. Seven generations of family ownership in every sip.
