Glenfarclas Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky Miniature 40 Year Old
Out of 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.

Autumn gold.
Nose
Fresh sweetness blooms with a fruity Turkish delight note, bright and inviting on the nose. Hints of freshly ground java coffee beans add a crisp, caffeinated edge, suggesting the whisky’s poised power and refined sherried depth to follow.
Palate
Sweet opening gives way to caramel and chocolate, then a sherry-fueled wave reveals dark chocolate, raisins and sultanas, ending in a warming, persistent finish with polished oak and spice.
Finish
A sweet, crisp, dry finish that lingers elegantly, releasing dark chocolate, raisins and sultanas, with a refined kiss of sherry-kissed oak.
