The contents are Glenfarclas. As expected from a long-aged bottle selected by the German bottler, the aroma starts with an elegant estery quality and has a rich fruity character reminiscent of thick jams. The heavy malty notes like butterscotch, oiliness, and resinous woodiness are strongly felt. As the alcohol strength is well-preserved, it has a powerful flavor with rich, thick sweetness. Similar to the aroma, strong woodiness and oiliness are present throughout, giving a full-bodied malt with an overall heaviness. It has a very satisfying drinking experience and is rich and delicious, but personally, I found it slightly tiring due to its weight. This is purely a personal preference, but it feels like it was aged too long in a good cask. #Glenfarclas (GLENFARCLAS)
