Tasting Notes

Nose

Malty, grassy, honey, toffee, pear, dried dates, distinct sherry influence — immediate quality for the price

Palate

Spiced fruitcake, dried fruits, toffee-covered red apples, mossy earthiness, light fruity sherry — genuine sherry character at £28

Finish

Orange and citrus, peppery oak, oily and lingering — impressive length for an entry-level expression

First Impressions

Glenfarclas 10 — 100% Oloroso sherry, family-owned since 1865, six generations. £28. Entry-level proof that sherry doesn't need to cost a fortune.

Tasting

Malty sherry nose. Spiced fruitcake palate. Peppery, oily finish. Outstanding value for 100% sherry maturation.

The Verdict

Glenfarclas 10 earns a 7.5 — a hidden gem at £28. 100% Oloroso sherry cask at this price is nearly unheard of. The Grant family's generosity in a bottle.
