At first sniff, a red fruit jelly unfolds on the nose - so intense and seductive that you can't help but think of grandma's Sunday cake. Dark chocolate joins in, not intrusively, but like a well-mannered guest who knows when to make an entrance. The strawberry jam comes next, sweet and fruity, accompanied by a settled maturity that only whiskies that have spent two decades in Spanish sherry casks can develop. Slightly nutty marzipan notes flatter the bouquet, while delicate oak and cinnamon provide the necessary spice.
Strawberry syrup - as intense and pure as you would enjoy it on Italian ice cream - takes the lead. The oaky flavour follows promptly and provides structure, while citrus acidity and fruit give the palate a lively freshness. Then comes the bread - a malty, warm note reminiscent of freshly baked wholemeal bread. Dark chocolate rounds off the flavour spectrum and provides the depth that only mature whiskies can develop. The creamy mouthfeel is the icing on the cake of this aromatic work of art.
This Glenfarclas finishes medium-long and dry - like a gentleman who knows when the time is right to leave. The oaky spice returns, accompanied by black pepper, cloves and walnut.
