Glenfarclas Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky 40 Year Old
In stock
Glenfarclas 40 Year Old is one of the oldest whiskies in the distillery’s core range, and it shows the house’s traditional sherried style in a more mature, more composed form. Matured entirely in sherry casks and now bottled at 43% ABV, it carries all the depth and richness that come with four decades in wood, while still keeping the balance and structure that Glenfarclas does so well.
This is a fuller, more refined style than the 30 Year Old, with the long sherry maturation bringing extra layers of dried fruit, dark chocolate, old oak and warming spice. Glenfarclas has long been known for traditional sherry cask whisky, and this bottling sits right at the top of that style, offering a more polished and deeply developed take on the distillery’s character.

Tasting Notes
Colour
Autumn gold.
Nose
The Glenfarclas 40 Year Old, now at 43% abv, has a fresh sweetness and fruity turkish delight aroma on the nose. Its freshness and power is similar to the frist time you open a bag of freshly ground java coffee beans.
Palate
Sweet taste, followed by a peppering of caramel and chocolate explosions. Sherry power creeping its way to the back of your mouth releasing dark chocolate, raisins and sultanas.
Finish
It ends with a sweet, crisp, dry & lingering finish.
