Glenfarclas 10-year-old — простой, лёгкий и лёгкий для питья виски с заметным шери и фруктово-медовыми нотами, часто описываемый как хороший вариант за свои деньги. Многие отмечают нехватку сложности и глубины, а также сетуют на 40% ABV.
развернуть подробно
В отзывах виски чаще всего описывают как простой, лёгкий и лёгкий для питья, с шери-сладостью, сухофруктами, мёдом, солодом и ванилью; неоднократно упоминаются ноты специй, дуба и лёгкой дымности. Часть отзывов прямо говорит о недостатке сложности, глубины и «тела», а также о том, что напиток кажется разбавленным или водянистым; нередко звучит мысль, что более высокая крепость пошла бы ему на пользу. При этом многие считают его достойным и приятным за свою цену и подходящим для начинающих или повседневного употребления.
Отдельно встречаются критические замечания: металлический привкус, «плоскость», слишком молодой характер, слабое влияние шери (вплоть до предположения о 4-й заливке бочек) и короткий или средний финиш. Есть и положительные оценки, где подчёркивается сбалансированность, фруктовость, шери-влияние и хорошее соотношение цены и качества; некоторые называют его лучшим или сравнимым с 12-летним. В целом тексты расходятся: от «просто и хорошо» до «ничего особенного», но большинство сходится на том, что это простой, лёгкий и доступный по цене виски.

Fresh malty and spicy smoke with a hint of honey. It tastes easy and delicious with a sherry sweetness and dried fruits. The finish is unexpected long, soft and spicy with a hint of nice smoke. Really not so bad, for me a bit underrated.
fruits and malt with hints of sherry, deep flavors yet lacks complexity, will greatly benefit from 2-3 more years in the barrel.

Glenfarclas seems best with long maturation, so it's no wonder this tastes very work in progress, but the price is good.
Just simpel and good.

Meaning “the valley of the green hills”, the Glenfarclas distillery has a long and rich history, being opened in 1836 by Robert Hay and acquired by the Grant family in 1865, the history of the site on which the distillery stands is even longer. There had been an unlicensed enterprise on the sight as early as 1797, perhaps even earlier, as George Grant of the owning family has even said “I have a painting from 1791 showing a distillery here showing a distillery on this site.”

S 6 An easy-going entry whisky for first-time spirit drinkers. Decent sweetness, no burn, gentle spice and smooth finish. N 23 - Green grapes - Honey - Subtle barley hiding behind the sweetness - Recognisable sherry (remind me of Medjool dates) - Touch of vanilla and citrusy when left to breathe P 21 - Thin, but still, sweet - Manuka honey - Winery gum - More winter spice surfacing (nutmeg, cinnamon), getting peppery and malted barley sweetness over time F 21 - Short-mid finish - oaky, gentle spice lingering - Nutty - Mild raisin, quite fruity
Light, slightly watered down, but tasty. If it had 3 abv more, it would have been tastier. Casual daily dram.

Colour: Vibrant straw-gold Nose: Tempting sherry-sweet malty tones combine with delicate smokiness, releasing subtle spices. Warming the glass reveals honey, vanilla and pear drops. Flavour: Delicately light, with a mouth-watering combination of maltiness, smokiness and sherry sweetness. Hints of dried fruit, vanilla, cinnamon and cloves tempt the taste buds further. Finish: Long, smooth and spicy, with a delicious, yet delicate, lingering smokiness. Comment: Gloriously smooth, yet with the depth and finish you would normally only expect of a much older dram. A wonderfully sherried whisky, and an excellent aperitif. http://www.shanghai9.net/whisky-whisky/glenfarclas-10-year-single-highland-malt-scotch-whisky.html

For the money this is decent, you certainly cannot complain at this price point.
In terms of price a good whisky which drinks away. Glenfarclas 10 years Single Malt is subtle lightness of taste combined with malty, smokiness and a sweetness of the sherry.

Blind tasting: Dried fruits, a hint of leather, apple, dried. Apricot, black tea Mouth: strong onset, intense spice, dried fruit, pronounced sherry character with no peculiarities Finish: quite bitter in the direction of grapefruit, starting in the second sip with chocolate, sweetened cay, a bittersweet feeling remains Conclusion: Tip: Glenfarclas 10 / 12yo neat, but a bit simple, a few% 79/100 are missing
Rich sherry cask, quite overwhelming with sherry/brandy notes

Glenfarclas 10 years, 40% alc. Original bottling around 2017 Nose: orange jam, slightly spicy, dried fruits and butter cake. In addition, some ripe apples and a touch of peach. Palate: Creamy and sweet, again the orange jam, with a little Christmas spices, malt and very subtle wood aromas. Finish: Medium length, dried orange, raisins and a little malt. Conclusion: a wonderful standard bottling, a nice sherry influence. Balanced between depth and enjoyment. Wonderful. 83/100 points (2021) www.notesofmalt.com
The nose is disappointing, the palate knows how to please. But do you need such a whisky? I probably don't. 56 points.

Initially the nose is just packed with dried fruit. Rum n raisin. Dried hay. Really sweet. Maybe some toasted almonds, marzipan or even sugared almonds. The taste seems to me quite complex and long for 10 yo. Very sweet, tonnes of dried fruit, but then becoming a little dry, tannic and savoury. There's a bit of foist or funk about it which I quite like. Again, for a 10 yo I find this very rich and satisfying. The finish has alittle bitterness which is mouthwatering. Not too hot or nippy. For the price (around £30 in the UK) this is a very enjoyable and balanced whisky.

Aroma is very pleasant no doubt. I feel, though, it's simply not mature enough to have a nice compatible taste yet. Otherwise my mark would be considerably higher.
Glenfarclas is one of the last independent family businesses in the Scotch whisky industry. now is the sixth generation, George Grant, in the company. whisky from Glenfarclas matures mainly very good sherry casks, now a rarity. It gives the whisky a dark and slightly sweet fruity character Colour: Full gold. Nose: malty sweet notes of sherry, delicately smoked, followed by subtle notes of spices, honey, vanilla and pear. Taste: Light, malty, smoky, sweet sherry, hints of dried fruit, vanilla and cinnamon. Finish: Long, soft, spicy and subtle smoky
This seems a bit off in a lot of places, not very well rounded, or even incomplete. It has some good points, some real Glenfarclasy (if that’s a word) things that are quite nice, but I can’t really seem to commit myself to this one. This will be great as a dram to have with a game on tv and with some snacks on the side, but not something to really savour.

A nice steady malt, the sort of malt you can drink during the day with friends. This is the sort of malt i would gve to someone who is wanting to start of on there own whisky journey. I will definitely seek out other expressions of this malt.

Whisky Tasting Notes Café de Toeter, Groningen 31-10-2015 Try 12 years next time
Am a fan of the fruity character of Glenfarclas, the 10 years gives a good impression of what Glenfarclas can do for a decent price. Although the 12 years are often cheaper and still slightly better.

JUN 2021 Glenfarclas 10yo 40%. 30ml sample. Aroma apricot, ginger, Touch furry, sweet dessert wine like tokaji. Estery spiritous new make and more furry over time. Not what you'd expect from 10yo. Taste is a little underpowered and watery, light spice in the finish. Not enough flavour impact. Furry oak. Basic. Some subtle fruits. Papery linger. Hmm. Has the weight of an ok blended Scotch, but without the flavour. Under-powered. Just barely ok. I'm really surprised and disappointed by how below-average this is (having enjoyed some of the higher age statement official Glenfarclas bottlings). 2.95/71 SEP 2022 Glenfarclas Aged 10 Years, HSMSW, 40%. 50ml Miniature Sep 2022. Light amber. Aroma is chilli and ginger, a little redcurrant, maybe pink peppercorns. Spicy but also fruity. After a sip the aroma goes flat, swimming pool. Body is lightly oily. Taste is spicier and pricklier than you’d expect at the ABV. In fact it seems to quite suit the very low strength. More of that chilli spice. Some char and musty wood. Light European oak character. This is pretty good for a budget, sherried age statement whisky. You can’t have it all, and this doesn’t seek to deliver it all. It’s just a solid whisky that delivers very well given its positioning. That being said, it seems to be very batch dependent and I seem to have got lucky with this one. 3.55/85
Nothing special, it did not convince me to explore the brand deeper
28/06/2026 - 30 ml Blind taste test, but after it was revealed there wasn't enough to test with ice, but why bother? I was disappointed with this entry-level Glenfarclas. Another interesting thing is that it smells and tastes like grain alcohol, but being a single malt it doesn't... Maybe it's the smell of the more neutral malted barley itself, I don't know.

| Нос | 76 | Old leather, old wood, vanilla, unsweetened caramel, no spiciness, just a warmth of sweet spices like cloves, cinnamon, and anise. There's a bit of varnish or lacquer on a refurbished door. It reminded me of the basic line at The Glenlivet. There's some malt and unmalted grains, but what predominates is the old, almost moldy barrel, forgotten in a corner. With water it becomes sweeter, it seems to have started releasing alcohol, but also sweet dried fruits, like an apricot and a fig. The vanilla has vigorously revived and the caramel has become sweet. Licorice and cinnamon on the finish. It has also become aromatic, covering the old wood, which is still present, but with a layer of sugar and dried fruit. |
| Вкус | 74 | This old wood now has a slight spiciness; it seems to have more grain alcohol than malt, and a coarse sweetness of dried, old vanilla and sweepings sugar. Some dried fruit and spices just to season it, along with traces of tannins and old truck upholstery leather. With water, the already mild spiciness almost completely disappears, but a taste of grain alcohol, old wood, tannins, and dried fruit sold in bulk at a rural market remains. Pungent and slightly sweet. |
| Финиш | 68 | Medium to short finish, with a light tannic aftertaste, some cooked vegetables and a touch of vanilla. Hints of spice and old wood. |
A nice malt for any occasion. Drank this with a friend on our way to Inverness on a distillery visiting holiday

Creamy toffee and butter on the nose, hints of custard. Initially fresh with citrus notes, this yields to a solid, well-oaked roundness that makes this a classic Speyside. Ends with some light pepper and a smooth lingering finish

I don't need it again, every liqueur is more intense
Pours a golden yellow. Scent is intense, fruity in a way . Oaky, tad sharp and volatile. very vibrant. Taste is very mild, light notes of oak. nice drying towards the finish - I assume sherry oak ? bit of a lower intensity whisky to me, lacks a specific character or power to make it memorable.

Tasted on 11-04-2019 at "Glenfarclas Distillery.
Can't quite understand the sometimes so devastating words. Sure, that's nothing extraordinary. It is a 10 year old whisky in the lowest price segment. It's a simple malt with 40%, but it doesn't want to be anything else either, light sherry tones can be sensed, a certain malt sweetness, no missing notes, nothing to enjoy, but who simply sips a cheap dram with beginners, acquaintances want, why not ...

A very light, pleasant representative. The nose is surprisingly light fruity, the taste also shows spicy aromas. In my opinion, the sherry casks used must have been made from American white oak. This is supported by the light fruitiness and the few bitter flavors in the taste. One can complain about the 40%. 43% would certainly have done him and his aromas good. However, it is very tasty and more than decent for a beginner in this price range.

| Нос | 85 | A light, fine nose. The first impressions are summery stone fruit aromas of ripe, juicy and sweet apricots and vineyard peaches. And the classic Glenfarclas nose with the orange marmalade, a hint of blossom honey and a hint of vanilla is also at the start. There is a slight spiciness and maltiness. But no trace of woodiness from the oak barrels. You don't notice the 40% alcohol in the nose at all, the smell feels like smelling a fruit juice bottle. Very pleasant. |
| Вкус | 84 | The malt glides onto the tongue with a smooth, creamy mouthfeel. Immediately a delicate sweetness that combines pleasantly with the stone fruit already found in the nose. Then, towards the finale, a light peppery and spicy warming note emerges, which provides a pleasant counterpoint to the fruit content. |
| Финиш | 83 | Towards the end it becomes drier with a hint of oak. Something like a melange or a chocolate with a medium cocoa content. The wood still remains in the mouth, otherwise it is gone relatively quickly. |

Sampled this in a line up of Glenfarclas 13 (SMWS bourbon cask), 10, 12, 21, 25, 40, and the 105. The least impressive of the bunch.
In the nose, the whisky is very fruity and sweet, almost a bit like a high-quality fruit brandy. The taste and the finish adapt to that, but overall the whisky misses depth and complexity. Tasty, tasty, little challenging, a whisky for "Nebenbeitrinken". blind tasting That was my tip: despite the rather bright impressions I type due to the intensity of the fruit on a sherry barrel, possibly a wine barrel. These vinous notes are less clear in the mouth and finish, but I stick to it: there were not only Bourbon barrels in the game. I do not expect the whisky older than 15 years, alcohol content 40-46%, as origin I can imagine the Highlands. For a moment, I wondered if this is a Scot at all.

Uncomplicated, light whisky with little barrel influence and wood. The sherry character is very restrained, there is a lot of American oak here. I would not want to pay more than 30 € for it.
