Glenfarclas 1996 The Family Casks (S16)

Glenfarclas 1996 The Family Casks (S16), 20 YO, 57.6%

Matured in a single refill ex-sherry butt (cask #1067), bottled 2016-07-26, and limited to 580 bottles.

Nose: Lovely, rich and wonderfully fruity. Orchard fruits mingle with deep, vibrant notes of red berries. Juicy and inviting, with a luscious fruitiness that just keeps giving.

Taste: Full bodied. Very rich and deeply fruity, with orchard fruits and dried fruits in abundance. A wonderfully creamy mouthfeel, with cinnamon and earthy vanilla adding warmth and depth. Strawberry milkshake with a generous sprinkling of chipped, toasted oak. Deliciously indulgent.

Finish: Long. The deep, sweet fruitiness continues to unfold, revealing layer upon layer of rich, dessert-like flavours. A wonderfully indulgent experience that lingers and keeps on giving.

Comment: Decadent dessert delight.
