Glenfarclas The Family Malt Collection Whisky 1990 Vintage

Colour

Deep copper-amber with burnished mahogany hues and a warm, sunlit glow.

Nose

Opulent sherry-driven nose of dark plum, raisin and fig, with orange zest and a hint of cacao. Beneath, toasted oak and gentle spice—cinnamon and clove—coax the senses, while a whisper of leather completes an elegant, mature profile unique to this Spain-only release.

Palate

Opulent and full-bodied on the palate, this Glenfarclas unravels with plush dried-fruit depth—raisin, fig and date—layered with orange zest, cocoa and toffee. Spices of cinnamon and clove mingle with polished oak, delivering a velvety, slightly waxy mouthfeel. Rich sherry sweetness lingers into a long, warming finish.

Finish

Long and warming, the finish floods the palate with old sherry fruit: raisins, fig and candied orange, balanced by cocoa, cinnamon and polished oak. A silky sweetness lingers, revealing leather and walnuts as spice fades to a refined, lingering warmth.
