Glenfarclas Cadenhead's Authentic Collection Single Malt Scotch Whisky 25 Year Old · 1988 Vintage

Colour

Deep, burnished amber with mahogany depths and copper-gold highlights.

Nose

Opulent sherry-driven aroma with dark figs and raisins, plum and orange zest, layered with burnt sugar, toffee and cocoa. Rich vanilla and cinnamon from aged oak add warmth, while a hint of leather and tobacco underscores the whisky’s mature, refined character.

Palate

Silky and substantial, this 25-year Glenfarclas from Cadenhead’s pours sherried depth: dark raisins, fig and plum, brightened by orange zest and honeyed toffee. Cinnamon, clove and nutmeg weave with roasted almond and oak. A warm, balanced profile leads to a long, chocolate-kissed finish.

Finish

Opulent and very long, the finish unfolds in waves of cinnamon-spice and polished oak. Dried fruit, orange zest and fig cohere with dark chocolate and toffee, fading to a refined sherry-tinged sweetness. A final whisper of oak spice lingers, leaving a warm, luxurious glow and an elegantly restrained dryness.
