Glenfarclas Fino Cask Vintage Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky 47 Year Old · 1966 Vintage

Colour

Sun-kissed amber with honey-gold radiance and coppery warmth, deepening to caramel-tinged mahogany at the rim.

Nose

Dry, refined sherry perfume with a Fino edge: almond and orange zest lift from the glass, paired with dried apricot and fig. Walnut and hazelnut richness mingle with a hint of vanilla and spice, while polished oak and a subtle mineral streak complete the aroma of this venerable, cask-aged dram.

Palate

On the palate, a refined, dry sherry edge from ex-Fino casks frames a silken, full-bodied malt. Almond and walnut mingle with dried fig, orange zest and a touch of honeyed warmth. Spices—cinnamon, ginger, clove—emerge mid-palate, then drift into a long, nutty leather finish. The oak is integrated, and at 50.5% ABV the drink remains balanced, cooling into a crisp, persistent finale.

Finish

A long, refined finish that lingers with almond and dried fig, a touch of cocoa and spice, and a delicate saline lift from the ex-Fino cask, echoing the elegance of this 47-year-old Glenfarclas.
