Facts

Glenfarclas 25 years Single Malt comes from a distillery that still does things its own way. After twenty-five years in cask, it feels composed rather than loud. The profile leans on sherry richness, then opens into oak, honey, and soft spice. Notes of vanilla, caramel, and dried fruit keep it grounded and familiar. A trace of coffee and cocoa adds depth without heaviness. This is a whisky for slow pours and long conversations. Each sip moves from fruity warmth to a dry, woody close that invites another taste.
