Colour: Rich dark mysterious Gold. Nose: Antique leather, walnuts & chocolate covered raisins. Flavour: A sweet initial taste, orange segments, chocolate. Then a lovely flavour of burnt brown sugar. Finish: The dry finish oozes big tannins & more rich dark cocoa beans. Let the whisky breathe a little or add a drop or two of water to fully open up the dram. Comment: This new Glenfarclas 40 Years Old, bottled in March 2010, has been awarded a score of 95/100 by the Malt Advocate magazine.
