A Glenfarclas 1986 of around 30 years of age, bottled as part of the Winter 2015 batch of Family Casks .

Glenfarclas 1986 (54,8%, OB ‘Family Casks’ 2015, refill sherry butt #4334, 536 btl.)

Nose: very typical and very elegant. Some fruity notes (oranges, Mirabelles) but the spices are bigger. Clove and cinnamon. Leather, walnut cake, hints of tobacco leaves. Beautiful waxy notes after a while. Mild sherry, and all the elements find a harmonious balance. Mouth: same feeling really, which is excellent. First a combination of pepper and orange, then apricots and tangerines, a little Earl Grey....
