Glenfarclas 15 Year Old Whisky Gift Pack (Includes Bonus 25 Year Old and 105 Mini Bottles)

This wonderful gift pack is priced the same as a standalone bottle. Each gift pack contains a full 700ml of the 15 Year Old, plus two 50ml miniatures: one Glenfarclas 105 Cask Strength and one 25 Year Old. That's more than $30 of whisky included at no extra cost.

The presentation is the other half of the appeal. The box opens to reveal a concealed drawer holding the two samplers — a genuine moment of discovery when it's unwrapped. Assured enough for a long-time malt enthusiast, and generous enough to send someone down the Speyside path for the first time.

A wonderfully sherried 15 year old dram from Glenfarclas, boasting oodles of dried fruit notes. It is bottled at 46% ABV, simply because this was the strength that George Grant’s grandfather preferred it at. Happily, this also results in the Speysider boasting a big, juicy, Christmas cake profile.

Gift pack includes:

- 1 bottle Glenfarclas 15 Year Old 700ml
- 1 bottle Glenfarclas 105 Cask Strength 50ml
- 1 bottle Glenfarclas 25 Year Old 50ml

Glenfarclas 15 Year Old tasting notes
Famous as one of Speyside’s most masculine whiskies, Glenfarclas 15 is matured in 60% x-Sherry casks, with the remainder x-Bourbon, but with a difference. The latter barrels are shaved back in order to minimise their flavour input, putting the focus almost completely on the sherry. Bottled at 46%, the result is one of most full-bodied in the Glenfarclas stable. It's also one that tasters tend to notice the most batch variation in. Re-tasted in early 2022, the latest bottling takes some time to develop and blow off minor sulphur blemishes. Aromas pick up speed, echoed in attractively sherried flavours of raisin cake, fruit mince pie and digestif biscuits. The finish adds suggestions of pickled ginger and baking spices. Though not long, the flavours are surprisingly intense, well-proportioned and approachable without dilution. Give a freshly opened bottle thirty minutes to begin to show its best. 46% Alc./Vol.

Glenfarclas 105 Cask Strength tasting notes
Cask strength whiskies have not always been available to the general public. In fact, the very idea was incidental, and only materialised in 1968 when a fourth generation member of the Grant family bottled a single cask straight from the warehouse, and sent the bottles to family and friends as Christmas gifts. George S. Grant created a simple, hand written label for the bottles noting only the name of the distillery and the strength of the whisky (which happened to be 105 British Proof.) By the end of January the recipients requested further bottles. George obliged, and since then, Glenfarclas 105 has gone onto become one of the most highly sought after expressions in the Glenfarclas range. 60% Alc./Vol.

Glenfarclas 25 Year Old tasting notes
Some real class and depth to the nose which offers powerful aromas of prune, roasted nuts, honey and freshly polished floorboards. Smells expensive. Mouthfilling, and with an unexpected degree of 'tingle' for whisky of this age. Glorious at mid palate, serving up delicious honey and dried fruit flavours over rich, spicy, sugar-laced malt. Medium long with a delicate aftertaste of dried fruit and sweet leather. Aristocratic. Would make a perfect after-dinner malt. Some tasters drew comparisons with Macallan 18 of yesteryear. 43% Alc./Vol.
