Glenfarclas 1956 Bot.2006 For Friends

• Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky
• Distillery Bottling

70cl / 50%

Firstly, Bottled for Hans Wuersching. Colour: gold. Nose: more discrete but maybe more elegant than the huge 1956 at first nosing, starting and developing rather marvellously on all kinds of herbal and resinous aromas. Pine wood, moss, eucalyptus, cedar wood, crystallised lemons (rare in old Glenfarclas), mint… Then dried pears, citrons, quince, kumquats… Glenfarclas 1956 Bot.2006 For Friends Edition No.2

Further, This is absolutely superb! Mouth: excellent, truly excellent. Very resinous (luv’ that), very minty and very camphory. All kinds of cough sweets and syrups reunited or something like that, pine sweets as well. Plus crystallised oranges and lemons and spices (a little pepper, cinnamon from the wood and dried cardamom.) Finish: long, half-resinous, half-oaky. Comments: and impressive old Glenfarclas that matured particularly well. And the resins! Glenfarclas 1956 Bot.2006

Moreover, Corman Collins whiskyThis Glenfarclas 2008 is a single cask release for Corman Collins, one of the pioneers in Belgium when it comes to selling single malt whisky. For some time they acted as the Belgian partner of La Maison du Whisky and they released some joint bottlings with Mario Grooteklaes (“M&H Cask Selection”) who later started The Nectar.

They celebrated the 50th anniversary of the company in 2015 but recently also the decease of the founder Hubert Corman. I believe this Glenfarclas 2008 ‘Cuvée du Fondateur Corman Collins 2016’ was bottled in his honour.
