Glenfarclas Craigellachie Hotel Single Cask #3540 Whisky 29 Year Old · 1972 Vintage

Colour

Deep amber with mahogany depth and coppery sheen, a warm, wine-bronze glow.

Nose

Opulent sherry-kissed nose with dark fruit depth—plum, prune, and fig—woven with toasted oak. Rich spices—cinnamon, clove, nutmeg—lift with hints of orange zest and red cherry. Subtle tobacco, leather, and cocoa nibs provide ballast, while a caramelized malt glow lingers in the background.

Palate

Silky, full-bodied palate cloaked in rich sherry. Dried plum, fig, and raisin ride with cherry, enriched by dark chocolate, toffee, and toasted almond. Spices—cinnamon, nutmeg, clove—lend warmth over polished oak, building to a long, luxurious finish with Christmas-spice sweetness and a delicate oak whisper.

Finish

Lengthy and luxurious, this finish lingers with dark fruit, fig and raisin, steeped in sherry sweetness. Treasures of cocoa, toffee and toasted oak unfold, while cinnamon and clove spice threads through, slowly fading to a warm, elegant velvet.
