The finish brings earthy notes and faint old peat, with a rich and long-lasting aftertaste. 【Very Good】 A Glenavon single malt bottled by GM in 1997, diluted to 40%. The nose is dominated by a noble old sherry character, with concentrated grape juice and berry jam fruitiness. It also has coffee, chocolate, and medicinal wine-like bitter elements, along with earthy mushroom notes, leather, and peat to add depth. These diverse elements come together as a unified whole, creating an experience where you feel like dissecting the aroma. When tasted, it has a rich and refined sherry character that defies expectations for 40% ABV. The concentrated grape juice sweetness and acidity from the fruit, combined with earthy depth, leatheriness, and a well-balanced tannic dryness, create a harmonious profile without any rough edges. Indeed, old GM sherries are captivating, and I can't help but feel this bottle's quality is timeless. Unfortunately, I regret not having more stock because I've opened and enjoyed every bottle I purchased. #Glenfarclas (GLENFARCLAS)
