Glenfarclas 105 (60%, OB, 2004)

New livery! Colour: full amber. Nose: very different, for it starts on soy sauce, cooked meat (game) and black toffee. It’s not that it’s any more complex, but it surely is more special. Lots of sweet’n’sour notes (Chinese cooking). Develops on tropical fruits (guava). Really a great whisky, not too far from the stupendous and long discontinued old Macallan 100 proof. It seems to have become to Speyside what the Laphroaig 10 yo C/S is to Islay. Gets quite winey after a few minutes. Mouth: wow, again, it’s much better than the older version. Less spirity, more balanced… Always some caramel and dried orange, but with more depth, and more fruits (apricot, quince, mirabelle…) and much more sherry, it seems. The finish is long but less burning and more balanced. A great whisky – no wonder many aficionados do pour a few centilitres of this one in any so-so new bottle of whisky to improve it dramatically. Yes, try that, it works! Anyway, 88 points for this Bang-for-your-buck whisky.
