Product Description

This is not just a bottle of 17 year old Highland Malt. It is the result of over 180 years of tradition and experience - of secrets carried and nurtured through six generations of my family here in the heart of Speyside. Many have wondered at origins of the unique taste of Glenfarclas. Some believe the secret lies in the tumbling waters of the Green Burn married with fresh Highland air. Others believe it is our great copper stills, which continue to be direct fired, and some believe the secret is my family's uncompromising commitment to maturing Glenfarclas in the best oak casks in traditional dunnage warehouses. Wherever the secret lies, we invite you to share in enjoying and savouring Glenfarclas. Display Tubes/Boxes: Display boxes subject to availability.

What critics and judges wrote

Wine Enthusiast · Kara Newman · December 2021
Baking spice aromas lead the nose. The palate opens with lemon peel and Granny Smith apple tartness. Adding water pulls out mild nutty tones, finishing long with nutmeg, cinnamon and vanilla.

This is a perfect match for the season's gingerbreads and spice cakes. Look for a warm, toasted-brioche aroma and pronounced flavors of vanilla, oak, dried figs, clove and allspice.
90 ptsDecember 2011wineenthusiast.com ↗
Amber, with a caramel and apple scent and a big caramel finish mixed with creamy citrus. Brisk alcohol means this smooth spirit is best mixed with alcohol.
ReviewJune 2006wineenthusiast.com ↗
The generous aroma emits powerful scents of honey, oloroso Sherry and dark toffee … at midpalate the taste expands to include marzipan and brandied cherries. Finishes beautifully, if a bit tight and suddenly reined-in.
Distiller · Stephanie Moreno
Dark caramel and figs appear on the nose with the taste exposing nuts and baking spices. The feel in your mouth is Rubenesque and satisfying with a finish of more baking spices and bitter orange zest.

IWSC judges · Silver · 2026
Caramel, sultanas, toffee apple, and poached pear nuances, unfolding into a palate of orchard fruits and bittersweet caramel. A subtle sourness and faint salinity linger gently on the finish.

Whisky Advocate · Dave Broom · 2015
Instantly seductive: vanilla pod, rich fruits, the smell of fur coats. … The palate is broad and balanced, with real sweetness and a tongue-coating quality which softens to dried fruit, earthy density, with a whiff of smoke. … A class act.

Flavor scores are our estimates. A flavor scores higher when more critics mention it and when they describe it more strongly, so no single review sets the result. They are not a rating from any publication.
