What does Glenfarclas taste like?
Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt Palate: Medium-bodied, with notes of date and walnut cake, Oloroso sherry and hints of earthy forest floor. A beautiful note of malt, with toffee apple and a touch of smoke. Finish: Spicy and long, notes of allspice, cinnamon and cloves, with orange zest and sherry.
How much is 50 year old whiskey worth?
Current offerings of 50 year old scotch, like Dalmore, can cost as much as $60,000 a bottle, making others, like Benromach, look like a veritable bargain at $14,500. Therefore, you will likely belong to one of two groups: those who can afford 50 year old scotch, or those who aspire to afford 50 year old scotch.
What is the longest aged scotch?
Gordon & MacPhail (G & M), the venerable Scottish whisky maker and bottler, has just announced the historic release of the oldest Scotch whisky ever bottled – Generations 80-Year-Old from Glenlivet Distillery.

Are there any older expressions of Glenfarclas whisky?
Clearly, a more attentive reconsideration was in order. It’s been a while since the older Glenfarclas expressions were reviewed here at MALT, in the form of a vertical tasting assembled by Jason in 2015. That piece, like many of the older pieces on the site, is worth a re-read.
Is there a baby vertical at Glenfarclas yet?

Which is better Macallan 18 or 25 year old?
So much better than the Macallan 18 year old, and nearly half the price. Finally the 25 year old, also bottled at 43%. At $170, this is a full C-note cheaper than Macallan’s 18 year old expression.
