Glenfarclas Scotch

[admin]

After immensely enjoying Mac Baren HH Highland Blend, which is topped with 30-year old Glenfarclas Scotch, I decided I need to get some of the scotch to go with it.
My local store only stocks the 12-year old, so I asked to see if they could order the 30-year old.
Their distributor doesn't have the 30-year old, but here is what they have.
- 17-year old - $95

- 21-year old - $141

- 25 year old - $151

- 40-year old - $432
I'm glad I asked the prices because I almost told them to order the 40-year old. I'm not quite ready to blow that much money on a bottle of scotch, so I went with the 25-year old.
I'll probably have it on Monday or Tuesday.

To me Tuesday is a great vintage! :lol:

Definitely out of my pay grade. After the first glass the taste buds are pretty much toast, so why bother?

 

[lordnoble]

As much as I like a good scotch, even the 17-year is out of my price-point. I have to agree with krgulick, though. After the first glass, I can't taste anything, but it's more from being a lightweight than anything else.

The Glenrothes select reserve is about the nicest I'll buy.
I would sure like to try a sip of this sometime. Great choice, sir.

They neglected to give you a price for the 50 year bicentenary bottle -- $4,310 US

Hey Kevin enjoy the scotch! I was planning to try out the 30yo after graduation, but you're ahead of me. I've tried the Glenfarclas 105 (60%) which seemed to just have the proper strength. Tell me how full the 75-80 proof Glenfarclas are.

Nice!!! I've not heard of Glenfarclas before but just read about them on the net and it seems wonderful.

I'll split a case with you.

 

[lonestar]

I'm going to hold out a bit longer and see if it goes on sale.

Fathers day discount maybe

More power to you if you can afford it. Not to be snooty I'll stick with a Cornell & Diehl Aromatic and a glass of Dewars . LDJonathan :puffpipe: :puffpipe: :: ::

Glenmorangie Is my poison, I like it neat. I usually get a 12 year as my budget will not allow for more. I do have a bottle for when my shop gets open that is a 25 year. I have found that I like a non aromatic better because I like the clean taste, and smell.

They sent the wrong stuff, so now it will be Friday that this comes in at my local store.

 

[jayh]

kevin, i know this is a pipe site so it never really gets brought up, but do you drink a fair amount of scotch? bourbon? do you drink when you smoke?
just interested.

I really enjoy Aberlour, I heard something from a few of my single malt obsessed friends about the quality of Glenfarclas scotches declining rapidly.
