Glenfarclas 105 22

Alright, so every so often there’s a limited edition that catches my eye. Distillery bottlings command a premium, getting something that is worth it (and actually limited to some degree) is tough, you’re hoping it’s worth it, and all that. Glenfarclas has brought out 105 a few times before. I, for one, am typically interested […]

Probably Speyside’s Finest 41 1967 Old Malt Cask Douglas Laing

When approaching these advent calendars, one thinks “Yeah, it’ll be fun to have a dram a day.” And unless you typically have just one whisky each night (or morning, no judging, some of us work nights), it seems doable. However, around Advent Day #9, I started realizing that I take breaks. Add to that the […]

Glenfarclas 35 1981 Port Cask Matured IV

When one thinks of a cat, they think of it being a calm animal that sleeps. However when someone trains a cat, that’s a surprise. It’s different. Thus we take note. When one thinks of Glenfarclas, one thinks of sherry casks. Among Glenfarclas, Aberlour, and Macallan, Sherry screams from the rooftop. Not literally, otherwise drinking […]

Speyside 43 1973 The Whisky Agency

I was privileged enough to go to the Toronto Whisky Society’s recent tasting, in which we were able to serve five different high end malts, all of which are available at the Kensington Wine Market, where a member was able to pick it up and bring it back to us. Much like horror movies and going to […]

Three Glenfarclas Whiskies (20 105, 30, 40)

Thank you to /u/scotchable, /u/tishpickle, and /u/xile_ for these samples, respectively. Glenfarclas has been written about quite a few times. One of two distilleries that, when I try them, I think “So this was in sherry, right?” However unlike Aberlour, they also work in ex-Bourbon, and as such, I usually lean towards Glenfarclas. However there’s some holes in my […]

Glenfarclas 15 Vimy Ridge

Thanks to my buddy John for sharing this dram with us. In October 1914, a German army would take control of Vimy Ridge. This ridge gave them a ten kilometre view around it, naturally giving the German army an advantageous location to defend it. During the next couple years, many lives were lost over this […]

Glenfarclas 25 Cadenhead’s Authentic Collection

Thanks to /u/kinohead for this sample. The names of the following story have been changed, as I don’t actually know their names. It’s a typical day at the Glenfarclas distillery. Jim, head guy, is enjoying some of the new music on his awesome walkman. He gets ready to meet with the head distillery. Sammy, the head […]

Glenfarclas 15 Keg n Cork Barrel Select Single Cask

Thanks to /u/xile_ for these and other samples. He had an order come in. Guess from where? If you guessed he bought it from Keg n Cork, then congrats, you’re still able to read. Congrats. Or this jumble of words are being dictated to you. Or you are just guessing so far. Either way, give yourself […]

Glenfarclas 1980 Christmas Malt [Mystery Review]

Thanks to /u/j4ni for this mystery sample. He says it’s whisky. And stated he wouldn’t tell me what it is until I posted it after Xmas. Bugger At the time of reviewing this I knew nothing, so I wrote nothing about knowing anything… so… there you go. I thought it was Apple Schnapps. Also it came […]

Glenfarclas 105 [Mystery Review]

So, for those of you not on /r/worldwhisky, a quick refresher: SHAME ON YOU! Wait, no, that’s not what I meant at all. Well, what I meant to write. Too bad I don’t edit these. Anyway, what I meant to say is: This year, for Secret Santa Swap, I requested mystery drams of whiskies I’ve […]
