Sherry, baked fruit, peach, rose, caramel, toffee — immediately rich
Full-bodied — buttery toffee, dates, sherried peels, vanilla cream, nutmeg, cinnamon, hint of peat
Warming autumn spice, lingering sherry, faint smoke — the 17 years fully integrated
Glenfarclas 17 — once US-only. 100% Oloroso. Six generations of Grants. 43%.
Sherry and toffee nose. Buttery dates and vanilla cream palate. Warming spiced sherry finish. Rich and reliable.
Glenfarclas 17 earns an 8.5 — beloved sherried Speysider at £100. Reliably excellent value for aged sherry. The Grant family's quiet excellence.
