I just bought a bottle of this, after discovering that Glenfarclas is among the few distilleries/brands that doesn't engage in the deceptive practice of adding caramel color to their scotch. The others I know of are Macallan, Glendronach, Glenglassaugh and Bruchladich. After tasting the Glenfarclas 12, I have to say it's my new favorite scotch. It's very mellow and easy-drinking without adding any water or ice. Or as you say, "dangerously sippable" - moreso than the Macallan 12 double-oak or the Glendronach 12. I'll have to pick up a bottle of the Glenfarclas 15 to see how it compares to the Glendronach 15 (They're basically the same price).

I just bought a Glenfarclas 12 yr yesterday after watching your review. Its pretty good stuff. Its my second bottle of Glenfarclas. I started with the 25 yr but don't want to spend that kind of money again. The Glenfarclas 12 tastes very good. Its just short on the finish/complexity. For me the 25 yr is like a $100,000 Mercedes and the 12yr is like a $40,000 Mercedes. Not the same performance but still a Mercedes. Cheers

Hi Jon, I'm glad that we enjoying the same bottle. May I ask if your bottle has some floating sediment when you spin it? I'm in Vietnam and I bought 3 bottle, all of them also have sediment. Please can you take a quick check at yours? Thank you
@JonnyCT
@JonnyCT 4 жыл бұрын
@@bekemdangiu hi, thanks. As for the sediment I don’t have this but have this with some other vintage bottles I’ve bought. I’ve been informed this is normal and due to either 1) a dry cork or 2) a cork that’s been in contact with the dram constantly (some whiskies kept on its side for extended periods) the rule of thumb is to keep the whisk(e)y upright for as long as possible and on a monthly frequency get the cork moist. As for the taste, it hasn’t affected the ones I bought and it’s harmless :)

I thought it was very "meh"... very low on the sherry influence... a bit of a metallic taste. I read somewhere they use a lot of 3rd, and 4th fill casks and it shows. I would much rather spend a little more and get a 1l bottle of the Balvenie Triple Cask 12... it's vastly superior to this. Still it's not like it's bad... but it doesn't come close in quality to the likes of Aberlour 12 (the NCF version), GlenDronach 12, GlenAllachie 12, Balvenie 12 Doublewood, Bunnahabhain 12. It's worth it if you're going for quantity over quality, but if you look hard enough you can find deals on any of these other superior drams. With that said, each person has their personal taste, so I'm sure there's someone out there who regards this scotch as their favorite. Cheers

It's not terrible but I will not be replacing my bottle. It's just not on par with some of my other 12yrs like Aberlour 12 NCF, GlenAllachie 12, GlenDronach 12, Bunnahabhain 12, Macallan 12 Sherry Oak... if we're talking about 1l bottles there's the Balvenie 12 triple cask... they all wipe the floor with the GlenFarclas 12. Using it as a tongue warmer for first pours before pouring something more enjoyable.

Hello Good Sir from sunny UK lol May I ask what is your personal favorite Single Malt Scotch? Regards - Jason Runge (( I am currently making my way through a bottle og Laphroig 10 and also a bottle of Glenmorangie 10) I was looking for some advice on somthing STRONG FRUITY AND SPICEY to try next but only Single Malts pls. Budget under £50 - I have experienced Peat now and looking to try new flavours - I occassionally smoke a pipe as well and tend to go for "English/Scottish tobaccos, and stay away from Virginias Not sure if you smoke Cigars or pipe too?

Try GlenDronach 12, a beast of a 12 yr old. It's very complex... dark fruit, raisins, definitely spicey. Aberlour 12 Non Chillfiltered is pretty good too, but GlenDronach is spicier (and overal better IMHO), I love both. I have a bottle of the Glenfarclas 12 and unless oxidation really changes it, so far I didn't like it very much... they clearly use low quality casks which brings a bit of a metallic flavor. Also the alcohol is not well integrated because the caks maturing the whisky are huge so there's not a lot of contact with the spirit. Worth for quantity over quality IMO. GlenMorangie 10 is a delicious little simple dram, you taste vanilla, orange and that's it. Laphroaig on the other hand is a complex beast, I love it (not for beginners either, unlike glenmorangie which is a perfect beginner dram). Try GlenAllachie 12, it's simply wonderful. Not really spicy though. It's currently my favorite 12 year old (and I tried a lot of them).

Glenfarclas website says the 12 year old is 100% orlosso cask maturation. Cant find any source that says otherwise. So i guess 5:26 is incorrect. And don't really like sherry aged whiskies.
