Glenfarclas Collection 3 x 0,05 (15 y.o./21 y.o./25 y.o)

Volume: 0.15 litres | Alcohol content: 44% | Chill filtration: No | Colouring: No

Special Features:

The miniature set offers a direct comparison of three age statements from the Glenfarclas Classic Range. It contains Glenfarclas 15 Year Old at 46%, Glenfarclas 21 Year Old at 43% and Glenfarclas 25 Year Old at 43%, each in a 0.05-litre bottle.

All three single malts were fully matured in Oloroso sherry casks and bottled without added colouring or chill filtration. The set therefore shows the sherry- and malt-led house style across increasingly long maturation periods of 15, 21 and 25 years.

A smoky nuance in Glenfarclas 21 complements the set’s sherry-led character. In the 15-year-old, sherry and malt combine on the palate.

The character of the 21-year-old also includes tropical and dried fruits, nutmeg, almond and vanilla. These broaden its sherry-led combination of citrus, fruit, nuts and dark chocolate. A vanilla-tinged smoky nuance is also present.

Tasting Notes:

• Nose: On the nose, the 15-year-old whisky shows sherry, light butterscotch notes and a hint of dried fruit. In the 21-year-old, sherry and delicate citrus accents meet fruit and nuts to create an expressive bouquet. Fruitcake, marmalade, date pastries and sherry shape the full, intense aroma of the 25-year-old whisky. Honey and nuts complement the bouquet, with a little coffee and oaky tannic notes in the background.
• Palate: In the 15-year-old whisky, sherry and malt are very well balanced. Abundant spice defines the 21-year-old whisky, while the fruit gives the palate its full, rounded character. On the palate of the 25-year-old whisky, sherry and robust oak combine with hazelnut and dark chocolate. Spicy gingerbread complements the flavour. Notes of dried orange are also present.
• Finish: The 15-year-old whisky has a long, lingering finish with sweet sherry notes. Chocolate accompanies the smooth, lingering finish of the 21-year-old whisky. The 25-year-old whisky has an intense, long-lasting, dry and malty finish, complemented by dark chocolate.

Distillery/Bottler:

Glenfarclas Distillery is located near Ballindalloch in Speyside, around one mile from the River Spey and at the foot of Ben Rinnes. The distillery has remained independently owned by the Grant family since John Grant acquired it in 1865.

Glenfarclas traditionally distils twice in direct-fired stills and matures its whisky in selected Oloroso sherry casks made from European oak. Its reserves of mature whisky, specifically retained for the distillery's own bottlings, enable it to release expressions at different ages, as brought together in this set.
