A pure legend of a minature scoring 95 points from Whisky Fun
Glenfarclas 30 yo 1964/1995 (54.1%, Signatory, sherry cask #4996) Colour: pure gold. Nose: punchy, powerful, with some very nice notes of white wine (Meursault?) and apple juice. Gets then unusually maritime and smoky, with some superb waxy notes and lots of dried fruits (bananas, figs). Goes on with the ‘empyreumaatic cavalry’, pine needles, resin, eucalyptus leaves, chestnut honey, mastic… Brilliant! Also quite some candy sugar and old rum, raisins, bergamot, liquorice, nougat… Really a thrill. It’s so complex, I’m speechless… Mouth: creamy and resinous, with lots of icing sugar, fructose, and all the fruits on Earth, either fresh or dried. Raw beeswax with its honey, pine candies, mint and chocolate, apricot liqueur, lavender honey. Gets superbly tary… And now there’s some cooked rhubarb… This one is extremely complex and it seems to keep developing forever. The finish is long, quite fresh, on herbal tea (camomile) and crystallised orange zest… Wow, what a beauty! 95 points – well deserved.
