Comments This tasting was attended by Mr.George Grant, who, at the time, was the Head of Glenfarclas Distillery.
Members' comments "Warming in the Islay style, but not typical of Islay". A sweet, malty whisky, pre- or interprandial. Reminiscent of Old Fettercairn". "Disappointing if you are looking for an Islay malt, and this is a little unfair, as this is, after all, a pleasant malt". "Has not improved on the 8 years old". "Great decisions could be taken after a dram drunk early in the evening". "The lightweight of the Islays - pleasant, but unpretentious". "Mild Islay. Without the Islay peat it would be but an ordinary malt". "Very pleasant, lightweight malt". "Mild, pleasant and slightly sweet". "A rather harsh finish".
