Отзывы описывают Glenfarclas 105 как мощный, насыщенный виски с нотами тоффи, карамели, ванили, орехов и сухофруктов, часто с рекомендацией добавить воду. Мнения о балансе и интеграции алкоголя расходятся: часть отмечает хорошую интегрированность, часть — резкость и необходимость воды.
развернуть подробно
В носовых описаниях преобладают тоффи, карамель, ваниль, орехи, сухофрукты (изюм, чернослив, вишня), молочный шоколад, мариципан и специи; неоднократно упоминаются хересные ноты, кожа и табак. Вкус описывают как сладкий, полнотелый, маслянистый, с тоффи, карамелью, сухофруктами, шоколадом, специями, перцем и дубом; некоторые отмечают фруктовость, вишню, сливовый джем и хересные оттенки. Финиш в большинстве отзывов назван долгим, согревающим, с карамелью, ванилью, дубом, шоколадом и специями.
По поводу крепости и баланса отзывы расходятся: одни пишут, что алкоголь хорошо интегрирован и виски можно пить неразбавленным, другие — что он резкий, кислотный или слишком горячий и требует добавления воды, причём вода по-разному меняет аромат и вкус. Несколько отзывов сравнивают этот релиз с обычным 105, отмечая, что он похож, но не всегда оправдывает более высокую цену; также встречаются замечания о «молодом» характере и серных нотах. Часть отзывов прямо указывает на дисбаланс или неоднородность.

Undiluted, I find it very acidic and alcoholic, almost unpleasantly so. There's a yeasty side to it as well. Feels more like 10-to-12-year-old than 1 16-year-old at this point. Retains its youthful vibe even when water is added: now there's a strong pear eau-de-vie aroma. It performs slightly better on the palate, but still: hard pass for me.

Really a shame, a good whisky but not at this price, the old 105 was stronger and edgier. Here rather only lovely short

This was amazing to drink. N - not much special, I felt. P - absolutely incredible. sweet, fruity, no unpleasant tastes. F - lasts a very long time given its ABV. nice pleasant burn.
N: Toffee, hay and maybe some vanilla. T: Oily with few flavors. Spiciness on the finish. W+: Opens up and you get toffee and hints of pear. Much more pleasant.

Despite the hefty 60%, you can drink the whisky neat. The alcohol is very well integrated, but in my opinion suppresses the variety of aromas that develop with the addition of a little water. My rating refers to approx. 4cl. with 1 teaspoon of water. Depending on the amount of water added, there are 88-90 points.
It has an oily viscosity and its bouquet is of relatively high intensity. I have aromas of chocolate, creme brulee, vanilla, raisin syrup, nuts, pipe tobacco, mulled wine spices and maritime notes. Moderately complex. Relatively sweet in taste. The alcohol is well integrated and has a heavy body.
High on the sherry, some walnuts, some dried fig. But overall it is alcohol driven. Water is needed for the nose. With water it tamed down quite a bit. More fruity and less nutty

Sweet, fruity and a little bit of leather. Yet this one is more on the fruity side (oloroso?). With water it is more tasty, more depth I would say. There is some leather, dark spices, some wood but overal dried red fruits.

Long length. The alcohol is strong here, so water is needed. Yet there is a good stickyness with dried red fruits and some nuttiness and spices. With water the alcohol nip fades away, the rest stays the same.

I do like this honest farmer's schnapps approach from Glenfarclas and the 105 was a permanent fixture in my bar for years. But it's not just the 105, many other bottlings from the current era have disappointed me more or less, including this 16-year-old 105, which is still a good, solid dram, but nothing more. I'm increasingly getting the feeling that the good casks are being used up for the Family Cask series and the mediocre (and perhaps even the bad) ones are being used in the standards, where the good ones are missing to round things off. You can taste it and even if it's not a standard, I can feel exactly this effect. What a pity.

Tasted at the Whisky Capital Inn, Dufftown on 18.09.2024 definitely a step up from the regular 105. nuts, red fruit, chocolate, relaxed dram

Dried fruits, milk chocolate, marzipan, caramel, a little tobacco. Balanced sweet and spicy. Tasty and very similar to the normal 105. So for me it's not really worth the significant extra cost.
FundramentalConnoisseur8523 jul 2024 10:10 pm
I always thought that the 105 is one of the best vfm sherry drams out there. Now let's see, if an age statement adds value... And I must say, I'm not disappointed. Really heavy sherry, strong, authentic Glenfarclas style. Worth the price hike? Not really.

The alcohol comes through more here, adding a bit too much sharpness to the palate. Sherry aromas are good and present, while the creamy vanilla on the nose fades somewhat into the background. Overall, however, it also seems a bit uneven to me, so it loses another point.

The finish is persistent with distinct sherry aromas and somewhat reconciles with the impression on the palate.

Another take on the 105. After the regular CS and 22yo, now there’s this 16yo. Glenfarclas usually delivers so let’s get on with it. Sweet and syrupy at first. Blocks of vanilla fudge with swirls of treacle. Prunes mixed with Peruvian cherries. A various berries marmalade. And to me there’s an interesting mix of coca powder, ground coffee, nutmeg and black tea (could be a Jonnie Boer blend ;)). I enjoy it’s syrupyness at CS, but the alcohol could have integrated better. A good teaspoon of water on 3cl did it for me but remained too hot overall for my liking and the finish isn't particularly enjoyable.

There is something in it, but it is still quite strong. Even added some water. Milk chocolate, slightly dirty rag in sherry, fermented fruits, sour plums, dried fruits with spices. Probably due to high strength, a long and enveloping aftertaste. 21.5-21.5-22-22

It’s ok but I just hate the modern sherry seasoned style. It’s very winey and sour. No balance
RauchfangMember Senior9014 nov 2025 8:34 pm
Really quite good G., but if you expect a Christmas Edition 2025 (just bought and opened) or a Premium Edition 2007 (which I liked so much that I bought some bottles to store, one of them just opened for comparison) on Sherry steroids, you will be disappointed. This is more etherical, finer, a grassy touch. Might have some lighter Sherry casks (Fino, Palo Cortado??) in the blend. I'd take some drops of water to waken it up; it is quite complex in a subtle manner, and definitely it is worthwhile to spend some time. In the end, it is just a nose's length ahead in comparison to the above honorably mentioned. Is it worth the extra 120 Euros a bottle? I'd say yes for a bottle or two. But the Premium Edition 2007 sets already a high benchmark. What I like so much about Gs: one tastes the open fire stills (as you do in all Springbank products, and as in Glenfiddich), and there are real Sherry casks, nothing sticky seasoned rubbish. Really top notch.

A very decent drink with a high alcohol concentration, which is practically unnoticeable, it is hidden so well, and I like it very much. Lots of cherry fruit, plum jam, chocolate in every form with a bit, oak, pepper and herbs from the garden.
