Суммаризация отзывов
Виски получает высокие оценки: большинство отзывов описывают хорошо сбалансированный, многослойный шерри-профиль с нотами фруктов, орехов, специй и дерева. Несколько отзывов отдельно отмечают, что шерри здесь интегрирован мягче, чем в «классических» тяжёлых шерри-бочках Glenfarclas.
развернуть подробно
В отзывах это один из лучших представителей серии Family Casks: сложный и хорошо сбалансированный виски, где шерри скорее дополняет, чем доминирует. Нос описывают как свежий (для 27–28 лет), с нотами апельсина и цитрусов, жёлтых/светлых фруктов (абрикос, персик), лёгких сухофруктов, трав (мята), специй, ванили, кожи, табака и дуба. Во вкусе отмечают маслянистость, фруктовость и пряность: сухофрукты, цитрусы, косточковые, оттенок шерри, мёд, специи для выпечки, табак, травы, орехи и древесные ноты. В отдельных отзывах упоминаются солёный макадамия и арахис, а также сравнение с яблочным штруделем с ванильным соусом. Финиш описывают как приятный и не бесконечный: сладко-кислый, с апельсином, сухофруктами, специями, травами, древесными нотами, орехами и лёгким солодом; в некоторых отзывах — с шоколадом, кофе, сливами и тёмным шоколадом. Есть и критические замечания: мощный и немного «грубоватый» характер, чрезмерная сладость в финише вместе с дубовой сухостью, а также чуть больше кислоты в носа и специй в финише.
Цена и доступность в отзывах упоминаются неоднократно: около 315 € (Германия, ноябрь 2020), «хорошо за 300 €», «уже не выгодная покупка» и сожаление, что цена не ниже. Общий тон при этом положительный: «отличный», «очень успешный розлив», «безупречный, тонкий, игривый, таинственный, многослойный, зрелый и просто очень вкусный», с отдельным указанием, что выбор бочки удачный. Несколько отзывов подчёркивают отличие от тяжёлых «шерри-супов» 1990-х и от популярного 4th Fill 1994: профиль более свежий и фруктово-шерриевый с цветочными нотами и мягкими специями.

This is a great whisky. Different then the popular, heavily sherry-soaked Glenfarclas. Interesting, because the information about how often the cask has already been used is missing here. With a relatively fresh barrel, one would expect more dominance. Secret 4th Fill? Full review (german): https://keinehalbendrinks.de/2021/03/03/all-in-the-family/

| Нос | 89 | Herbs flowers vanilla yellow fruits mainly citrus. A freshly sliced orange. Tobacco, oak and sherry flavors. |
| Вкус | 90 | Wonderful salty macadamia and peanuts too. With vanilla and yellow fruits. Tobacco, oak and sherry are more subtle. |
| Финиш | 90 | Not an infinite length, but what is there is fantastic. A fizzy drink and even a sip of mineral water. The nuts are back and everything is in line with the impression so far. |

Tasted at the distillery in October 2024. Quick notes taken there. Gorgeous and very complex dram, a great family cask one!!
Great, ripe, fruity-sweet sherry profile (especially a dream on the nose), without which the malt on tap is killed, as with the many modern cola soups. No missing notes (no sulfur), just a well-matured, multi-layered malt.

It is powerful and a bit rough around the edges for my palate.

| Нос | 89 | Sweet red fruits and oak, candied strawberries, red licorice, orange marmalade, dark caramel. |
| Вкус | 87 | Spice enters the mix, strong spice swell, stewed red fruits, oak. |
| Финиш | 85 | Sweetness is cloying here, mixing with the oak dryness it’s a bit of a odd finish |

| Нос | 90 | pretty fresh for 27/28 years :) Orange juice, light/yellow fruit notes (apricots, peaches), a touch of dried fruit (predominantly light dried fruit), slightly resinous. Followed by herbs (mint), spices, baking spices (vanilla), and a hint of leather. |
| Вкус | 91 | Without added water, it's slightly oily, fruity and spicy, with dried fruits, citrus fruits, light stone fruit, a touch of sherry, and a hint of honey. Spices, baking spices, a hint of tobacco, herbs, nuts, and woody notes. It doesn't necessarily need water, but a little warmth from the hand is good for it. Delicious! 90-91 |
| Финиш | 89 | Sweet-tart-sweet, oranges, some dried fruit, spices, herbs, wood notes, nuts, a hint of malt at the end. Pleasant. |
All kinds of nuts and apple strudel with vanilla sauce. Sweet and tart finish.

Yes, really a great malt. Completely different from the highly acclaimed and mostly sold out 4th Fill 1994 S20 #4337. For me even a bit better. But in the edition also almost 100 € more expensive... The depth is already indicated in the nose. Incredibly well integrated alcohol, the mouthfeel speaks for less than 50%. Then follows an incredibly balanced malt that does not deny its origins. A typical Glenfarclas profile on the finish, but without any bitterness or cask-heaviness. Definitely better than the last personalities editions. Does that justify the over 300 €? I don't like to decide that for you. I would have been happy if it would have done 200 €. Probably in 2 years I'll be happy to get something like this for 350.

Nice nussinger and coherent Glenfarclas! A tick too much acid in the nose and a touch too much spice in the finish. Therefore a slight deduction of points .....
A Family Cask, distilled in 1992, bottled in 2020, this Glenfarclas was allowed to mature in a sherry butt for 28 years! The result is a wonderfully balanced filling, wood and fruit harmonize perfectly with each other, even if the wooden side predominates in taste and aftertaste and is noticeable with partly wooden sharpness. Dried fruits with chocolate and caramel create a wonderful counterpart to the spicy oak note, I am thrilled!

Glenfarclas 1992 Cask 2904 Sherry Butt. The new Family Casks were longed for by the Glenfarclas fan base. Actually it was said that they should come to Germany in September. Then you were put off by the dealers almost every two weeks and now in November the time had finally come. Unfortunately, the bottlings from 1990 and 1991 are now so outrageously expensive and, at over 500 euros, probably no longer affordable for most connoisseurs, which is why the 1992 was or is the first port of call for those who wanted to get hold of a Glenfarclas as old as possible. This is a very successful bottling. Flawless, fine, playful, mysterious, multi-layered, mature and just very tasty. The guys from Glenfarclas have chosen a very good barrel here. However, if you expect a taste profile like the dark sherry soups like in the 1990s, you will be disappointed. Rather, it is the 1992 and a bottling that masterfully and artistically combines fruity-sweet sherry aromas with floral notes and subtle spices. I like the Glenfarclas very much, unfortunately it is no longer a bargain at well over 300 euros. But unfortunately we cannot change that. After the first tasting impressions I would give a cautious 91, but I will dare to try again in the next days or weeks. I'm curious what the other guys write for their impressions :)

A very nicely matured Glenfarclas. The sherry influence is wonderfully integrated here and rather complementary. So he leaves enough space for the malt. Unfortunately not a bargain.
