2010 Glenfarclas Christmas Edition 2022 Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml)

New vintage just landed. "...excellent young sherried Glenfarclas." - whiskyfun.com

It's not certain when this series started, however there have been a number of annual Christmas bottlings from Glenfarclas. Through the 1980s they were cask strength and came with big age statements. More recent bottlings have landed at approximately ten years of age. The 2010 edition had and outturn 5,400 bottles. All the right ingredients such as 100% maturation in Oloroso Sherry casks, zero chill filtration and a 46% ABV add up to a quality limited edition that's more than just a label change. Some will stash this away in collections, but we'd like to think most bottles will get opened and shared in the spirit for which they were intended. Whiskyfun's enthusiastic notes below. Distilled December 2010 / bottled 2022. Probably a European exclusive, though not confirmed. One shipment only.

Other reviews... Aged in oloroso sherry. Aren't we a bit late once more? I'm noticing that they keep calling themselves 'a Highland'. Colour: full gold. Nose: very similar whisky, this one being just a notch nuttier and with more oranges. Perhaps…. We're extremely close, nonetheless. In cases like this one, the taster must be careful not to swap his/her glasses, or everything's ruined. Mouth: ditto. You would almost believe this was the same batch, but we won't complain, it's excellent young sherried Glenfarclas. Finish: perhaps a little more chocolate and fig jam? Comments: merry Christmas (what?) 86 points - whiskyfun.com
