A wonderfully sherried 15 year old dram from Glenfarclas, boasting oodles of dried fruit notes. It's bottled at 46% ABV simply because this was the strength that George Grant's grandfather preferred it at. This also results in the Speysider boasting a big, juicy, Christmas cake profile.
Nose: Warming rounded sweet sherry notes of Christmas cake and brandy steeped fruit. Fresh ginger and white pepper, chewy toffee and toasted sugar. With time in the glass fresher apple and pear notes emerge and warming vanilla.
Palate: Sweet boozy stewed fruit, some dried chilli flakes, toffee apples, and a little charred sugar. Good body, some baking spices, dried ground ginger.
Finish: Warming with fresh green chilli. Long lasting, sherried, sweet and distinguished.
