A fairly new one, for the German market. Well well well, Glenfarclas did not do any finishes (hurray), but it seems that they are going NAS just like the others. Or are they only testing the market? (yeah I know, the 105…) Colour: pale gold. Nose: toasted bread, toasted brioche, toasted cake, maple syrup, then dried fruits (figs, quince jelly, dates, bananas…) It’s a simple profile, but there isn’t anything to complain about. Mouth: no, it’s good stuff. Malty, nutty, brioche-y, with a thin slice of mint jelly and chlorophyll. Easy, balanced, and I have to say, beyond reproach at 56.43€. Finish: good length. Cake, nuts, oranges, mint drops. Comments: it’s not very oloroso-ish, so possibly refill, and probably not the most complex Glenfarclas ever, but the gentleman who composed this sure did a great job. There’s NAS and there’s NAS
