Rating of article "Glenfarclas 105 Cask Strength - 60% - 1l"
Batch variation seems to be an issue in Glenfarclas 105, so let's give this 'bang for the buck malt' a proper re-review. Slightly aggressive, the nose starts off with fruity sweetness, strawberry yogurt, candy apple and alcohol. With water, the fruitiness intensifies, featuring peach, roasted nuts and hints of vinegar. After a bold and peppery arrival, this young beast becomes quite tasty. Chocolate, juicy berries and a touch of mint flow into a lingering finish, full of spices, bitter oranges and tiramisu. Calling this malt 'the poor man's A'bunadh' wouldn't do it justice!

Nosing:
Very intense. Big time sherry nose. Initially Apples with cinnamon and raisin, reminds me of a Dutch apple tart. As it sits the fruit recedes and a dark toffee note becomes more prevalent.
Taste:
Intense sweet sherry arrival, lots of dried fruits, oak and light spice. Like being punched in the head with a fruitcake.
Finish:
Long and smooth, remaining sweet. Still lots of sherry and oak with a bit of black pepper.
Comment:
Well, this is an absolute beast. I'll say from the outset that this definitely needs a good extra 30%-40% water added to it to be at its best or you'll get pummeled by the alcohol level. Its intense all round, especially in the nose and palate and maybe loses a little complexity for it, but not much. Very enjoyable if you like the sherried style.
