Суммаризация отзывов
Отзывы описывают виски как приятный, но неглубокий шери-релиз с нотами тёмных фруктов, шоколада, дуба и специй, часто отмечая молодость и лёгкость. Мнения расходятся: часть считает его удачным и насыщенным, часть — слабым и невыразительным.
развернуть подробно
В большинстве текстовых отзывов виски описывается как шери-выдержанный релиз с тёмными фруктами, шоколадом, дубом, специями (корица, перец), изюмом, орехами и цитрусовыми. Несколько отзывов отмечают, что он требует времени в бокале, чтобы раскрыться, и что со временем становится более округлым. Часть отзывов указывает на присутствие серы и кислотности, которые со временем уходят. Некоторые описывают его как «старомодный» и более интересный, чем базовые 10- и 12-летние релизы, с хорошей крепостью 46%.
Вместе с тем ряд отзывов характеризует виски как лёгкий, неглубокий и «молодой», с коротким или почти отсутствующим финишем, водянистой текстурой и заметной спиртуозностью. Отмечаются также искусственные фруктовые ноты и общая поверхностность. Мнения о балансе и глубине расходятся: одни называют его солидным и хорошо сделанным, другие — слабым и невыразительным.

Brief impressions from a blind tasting. Nice standard, offering a little more than the 10y or 12y base bottlings from this distillery.

The first Glenfarclas from the Trinity Vintage Series. Bottled at 46% ABV and matured for 12 years in an Oloroso sherry cask. Great sherry whisky with lots of dark fruits and chocolate. The nose also has spicy oak, raisins and malt. The taste also has lots of oak and a few spices like cinnamon. The finish is long with dry oak, spicy and sweet notes. Solid whisky that does nothing wrong. Tastes good.

Please where is sulfur? With a lot of imagination, maybe, yes, there was an old musty sherry cask somewhere in the batch. Otherwise, a nice oak note, a little bitter and sour. You should actually give him time. Sour red apples; some blackcurrants; hazelnuts in caramel cream; a pinch of vanilla sugar. A hint of lemon zest and mandarin... ...immediately leaves a soft mouthfeel -> not to be confused with powerless! Oak; nutty; some black pepper; dark cocoa cream; dark cherries and plums behind it... ...underlined by a light oak, it goes with the dark fruit and leaves behind a beautiful, powerfully smooth dark chocolate note. It's consistent, the 46% is a good fit, more old school than pimped up in a new way. Blindly, it should be possible to spot a Glenfarclas in there and perhaps estimate it to be more than 12y. For fifty bucks, it's definitely worth adding to your shopping basket. From memory, I find the standards 10y/12y (/15y) much lamer. Not a revelation, but well done.

It could almost be described as bland, in the sense that it lacks depth and personality, which is not a great result considering it aims to represent a "cornerstone" of the distillery.
нос · вкус · финиш
| Нос | 80 | Initially not particularly intense, almost shy, where the sherried notes emerge with little assertiveness, leaning towards freshness rather than opulence. It requires time to open up, revealing sultana grapes, dried plums, tamarind, baked apple, raspberries, and candied orange, surrounded by spices (nutmeg, cinnamon, a pinch of anise) and a rather pronounced vegetal vein. At times it is marked by an acidic, almost acetic component, struggling to reveal a darker finish of milk chocolate in length. Weak and indecisive. |
| Вкус | 78 | It confirms its lightness in density and inclined towards acidity rather than decadence, with a somewhat exuberant alcohol strength and a spicy, peppery push. Red fruits, citrus, nuts (almonds, walnuts), a hint of vanilla, all quite elusive, which quickly gives way to a vegetal note of fennel with bitter hints in the background. A touch of coffee and cocoa lingers. |
| Финиш | 76 | Brief, leaving a bitter, vegetal trail with hints of red fruits, nuts, and citrus, accompanied by a drop of coffee. |

I was hoping for a nice, reasonably priced drinking whisky, but this is not enough for me.

Süß, Kirsche, geröstetes Getreide, Eiche, Orange, Malz | Geschmack: Süß, würzig, Eiche, Kirsche, Malz, Gewürze, etwa Marzipan, etwas Kirschenschale | Abgang: Mittellang; süßes Malz mit Kirsche und etwas Kirschenschale bleiben. | Fazit: Die Nase beginnt süß mit Kirsche. Anfangs habe ich geröstetes Getreide, welches aber nach einer Weile etwas verfliegt. Dann kommen Eiche und Orange dazu. Malz ist ebenfalls da. Der Geschmack startet mit süßen, würzigen Noten und Eiche. Im Anschluss kommen Kirsche und viel Malz. Gewürze und etwas Marzipan habe ich dann. Zum Ende kommt etwas Kirschenschale dazu. Ein solider Whisky der aber im manchen Momenten recht jung wirkt. Allerdings entwickelt er sich im Glas noch etwas. Fehlnoten habe ich keine. | 86 Punkte

First tasting: lots of sulfur, sour, then GF typical. It needs a lot of time in the glass for the sulphur and acid to evaporate. Then it tastes much more rounded.

| Нос | 83 | Not very full aroma, similar to Tomatin 14, only weaker, fruity, pear aroma, clove, a little malt, relatively weak. |
| Вкус | 84 | Just as weak as the nose, not a bad taste, but I know it from Glenfarclas, much stronger, vanilla, pear, malt, a little lemon and clove again, unfortunately also a bit watery. |
| Финиш | 81 | The finish is almost non-existent, but what you taste is positive, a little round vanilla, rather disappointing due to the weakness. |

Another one of the better modern Glenfarclas bottlings. But still below average compared to the old piglets. Perfumed sherry on the nose with a slightly artificial fruit note. Something of a lemon-orange throat lozenge. With heather. Honey. Perceptible alcohol note. Moderate oak notes. Very, very(!) sweet on the tongue. And too sharp in terms of alcohol for my taste. A bit unbalanced. Here too I get that artificial fruit note from the throat lozenge. The sherry seems a bit artificial. Not very deep. Seems younger than 12 years old. Overall it has an aroma of sticky sweet, American popcorn white oak and seasoned sherry cask. Everything is very superficial. All well and good. It's drinkable, but that wouldn't have made me a Glenfarclas fan in the past. At some point I'll give up on the "new" bottlings altogether.

Nose: Definitely croutons and lots of fruit (lemon, orange) + sherry. Taste: Sweetness and dark cherries, plum. First association – Nutella challah and cherry jam on top. Raisins. Spicy finish, medium. Taste-wise, the same as the body. There is delicate oak (but pleasant). At the end, the currant and sulfur are more prominent. Comments: Overall, I would give it 2 or 3 points more. After a few days, the deg. doesn't quite suit my taste. I can sense a bit of a strange artificiality and sulphur in it. It's better when it's been in the glass for a while. Glenallachie 12 is a better option for me in a similar amount (around 88 points). It's definitely more consistent in taste.

A nice Glenfarclas in itself. Very mild with a distinct sherry influence. However, it lacks a certain spark. It's very reserved and seems quite young overall. I also detect a rather strong alcohol note at the beginning.
