Glenfarclas 17 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky is matured for 17 years in a combination of ex-bourbon casks and ex-sherry casks (the sherry casks had previously matured Oloroso or Fino sherry in Seville, Spain). As a result, the single malt has an aroma of butterscotch and smoke, which gives way to full-bodied and lush notes of cherries, honeyed oak, sweet malt and peat. The lingering finish has hints of vanilla, sherry and coffee.

Glenfarclas 17-Year-Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky earned a score of 93 points from Wine Enthusiast and from the Beverage Testing Institute. In addition, it earned the Double Gold Medal at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition.
