Glenfarclas Dark Oloroso Vintage Cask #9438 Whisky 1989 Vintage

Colour

Deep amber with mahogany depth and a coppery glow.

Nose

Dark Oloroso sherry envelopes the nose with a lush, raisined bouquet: figs, dates and plums, layered with treacle, dark chocolate and burnt caramel. Roasted almonds and walnut lend nutty depth, while orange zest, cinnamon and vanilla oak add lift to a warm, opulent aroma.

Palate

Velvety and opulent, the palate fills with dark oloroso sherry fruit—prune, fig and raisin—woven with caramel and burnt sugar. Malt and oak provide structure, while cocoa and espresso add depth, with a hint of orange zest. Spices linger—cinnamon and clove—ending in a long, warming finish with refined tannins.

Finish

Long, opulent finish with dark fruit and toasted nuts. Prunes, fig and orange zest mingle with cocoa and coffee bean, carried on a delicate wisp of leather. The Oloroso influence wraps the palate in a silky, warming glow, lingering with spice and oak well into the aftertaste.
