The old sherry character was quite impressive. Glenfarclas GLENFARCLAS 7yo GM ceramic jug 40% The aroma is firmly old sherry, antique furniture, earthiness, dried fruits, cooked berry jam, smooth mouthfeel, noble old sherry with rich jam sweetness, soft tannins, leather, leaf mold, and a rich finish. [Good/Very Good] A GM jug from the 70s, with no distillery marking on the body but the label states Glenfarclas 7yo. The old sherry nuances were very noticeable in both aroma and flavor, with antique furniture and aged leather notes personally appealing as a good old character. The earthiness was also pleasant, and the balance between the rich jam sweetness and good tannins was well done. Though not full-bodied, it felt deeper than the alcohol content suggests. The jug is in excellent condition; while buying at auctions might be a gamble, it's a delightful old sherry malt that would be exciting to find at home.
