I’ve already tried the Glenfarclas 1971 cask #140 from the same series and Glenfarclas 1971 cask #148 for Silver Seal , all bottled in the same year.

Glenfarclas 40 yo 1971 (51%, OB Family Cask VII 2011, sherry butt #150, 468 btl.)

Nose: very vibrant – the sherry is big but not too loud. Plenty of plums, redcurrants and raspberry jam. Lovely polished oak. A little vanilla and treacle toffee. Rum & raisins. Very light hints of lemon candles. Very seductive. Mouth: fresh, again a really nice fruitiness of red berries, juicy plums and a little cranberry juice....
