Tasting # 412: Loves me some 'farclas  (28-DEC-2009)
NotesGlenfarclas has been good to me over the reviews with the Link to another review10 year old being a bit of a let down. This is the newest version of that 10, a stout little bottle in their latest lineup.

Impression		I like the 'farclas setup generally but the 10 is a bit underwhelming. Fair looking but the flat red tin has no flair.
SmellCreamy butter and a bit of lemony citrus. There's a bit of barley here to carry the ball, but nothing extraordinary.
TasteThe nose and general taste are slightly young and one-sided. There's still a touch of growl and bluster, but overall this is a better glass than I the last 10 I tried. More honey and meringue over barley this time, which makes for a nice front, but the top is a tad harsh. Good flavors in the fade and finish as a tiny bit of oak appears but it's all a bit short. Still, for the price I'm enjoying the glass and can recommend it without too many caveats. Borderline 60s.
