Glenfarclas 1953 58 years old Wealth Solutions - Original bottling - b. 2012 - 700ml

In summary, this is a magnificent whisky: enormous, complex and with huge seams of flavour running through it. The biggest surprise though is just how fresh, juicy, and absolutely 'alive' the whisky is after 58 years in the cask. It is testament to Glenfarclas' wood-management policy that such incredibly high-quality casks are used, allowing the initial character of the spirit, laid down in 1953, to develop such extraordinary complexity without dominating the final product.

Aroma: (straight) A mild nosefeel. Very clean, fresh and highly perfumed - the scent fills the room: hair lacquer, shampoo, face cread, almond oil (and pounded flaked almonds).


Taste: (straight) Smooth and fresh; not as sweet as expected. Centre palate and quite tannic/mouth drying with some spice. A long, round, warming finish.
