Glenfarclas 105 20 Years Old. Image courtesy Glenfarclas.The nose on this cask-strength classic is intense, dry, and fruity with grilled peaches, baked apples, nutmeg, ginger, a hint of pepper, butterscotch, and oak. The taste is thick, spicy, and powerful with black pepper, clove, figs, grilled peaches, baked apples, toffee, and oak. The finish is dry, long, and oaky with cooked fruits and a hint of clove. A little bit of water adds vibrancy and fresh berries to the palate. A classic! (Re-tasted May, 2015)
