When the family-owned Speyside distillery released it in 1968, it was the first cask-strength single malt to be bottled, and it remains one of the most celebrated. The name comes from the old British proof system: 105° proof equals 60% ABV, the strength at which it is bottled.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGlenfarclas has been owned and run by the Grant family since 1865, one of the very few distilleries in Scotland still in family hands. It is famous for its rich, sherried style, and the 105 is matured in casks that previously held oloroso sherry.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBottling at full strength keeps all of that sherry-cask character: raisins, figs, honey and hazelnut, dark toffee and chocolate, with a sweet and spicy palate. The distillery itself suggests adding a little water and, with a wink, ordering a 210 if you dare.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBig, generous and remarkably good value for its strength, Glenfarclas 105 is a benchmark dram for lovers of sherried Scotch.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eScotch whisky must be distilled and matured in Scotland for at least three years in oak casks, and any age statement on the label refers to the youngest whisky in the bottle.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Raisins, figs, honey, hazelnut and oak, with dark toffee.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sweet and spicy, with dark chocolate, raisins and a touch of nutmeg.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Long and warming.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDistillery:\u003c\/strong\u003e Glenfarclas, Speyside, Scotland\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky, cask strength\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCask:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ex-oloroso sherry casks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProof \/ ABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 120 proof (60% ABV)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Speyside, Scotland\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750ml\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow to Enjoy It\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eTaste it neat, then add water a little at a time; the sherry fruit and spice open beautifully as the strength drops.
