Expert Review

8.5/10

Family-owned Glenfarclas (J&G Grant since 1865), matured exclusively in ex-Oloroso sherry casks. Originally a US/travel retail exclusive, now widely available. A classic 'sherry bomb.' 43%. A beloved sherried Speysider — rich, complex, reliably excellent value within the aged sherry-cask category.
