Glenfarclas Family Cask 24 Year Old, Sherry Cask, Cask #2213, 2006, 58.3%

I’m drawn to the contrast here: soft leather gives the nose a grounded feel, while the palate turns rich, spicy and floral. The slightly sweet vanilla finish sounds like a gentle close to those bolder middle notes. That mix feels more about warmth and aroma than an easy fruit-led read, but it has enough character to keep me interested. A warmly appealing profile with a pleasing shift from savoury to sweet.
