Tasting Notes

Tasted on a flight as a luxurious after-dinner dram. Mellow jazz playing on the ear-phones and primed with two types of Spanish wine. I was in a mood to appreciate. Very nice dram, well rounded and flavorful. I still can't have a dram of Glenfarclas and not think of the tour guides delightful but cheesy tartan pants as he walked backwards giving his speal. This dram hits pretty nice in the here and now.
